Skip Prosser will always be "Coach" to Pat Kelsey.

"I believe that one of the greatest honors a player can bestow on a coach is to call him 'Coach' -- forever," Kelsey said Saturday while delivering the eulogy during a memorial Mass for Prosser at Xavier University.

The 56-year-old Prosser, who coached at Xavier before taking the job at Wake Forest in 2001, died of an apparent heart attack in his Wake Forest office on July 26. Former players and other coaches attended his funeral in North Carolina on Tuesday, remembering Prosser as a teacher who molded the lives of those he knew.
