Wake Forest coach Skip Prosser, 56, died Thursday after collapsing after a jog on campus.
Skip Prosser was 126-68 in seven season at Wake Forest.
Prosser was taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, but the hospital did not immediately release any information.
Prosser was 126-68 in six seasons in Winston-Salem. His overall career record was 291-146 in 14 seasons, including seven seasons at Xavier.
Prosser's teams made nine NCAA Tournaments and three NIT appearances. The Demon Deacons went 15-16 last season and did not make the postseason.
