Skip Prosser, head basketball coach for Wake Forest University, collapsed while jogging and died of a heart attack. He was 56.

I didn't go to WFU, but to a different ACC school, a couple hours down the road. Still, it's hard to forget the televised image of Skip Prosser, running up and down the sidelines, red-faced and screaming at the top of his lungs.

I don't know who the heck he was, but 56 is too damned young to die. RIP, guy.

I don't know the guy either, but living to 56 might be a pretty good outcome for one person I know. But in any event, RIP.
