Prosser, who coached Wake since 2001, took the Demon Deacons to the NCAA Tournament four times, including 2003, when Wake won the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season title. The only coach to ever take three different schools to the Big Dance in his first season as coach, also coached Xavier for seven seasons, leading the Musketeers to five straight NCAA appearances. Prosser also took Loyola (Md.) to the tournament in 1994, his only year there.
The 2003 ACC coach of the year, Prosser was 126-68 in his six seasons at Wake. Overall, Prosser's career record was 291-146 (.666).
Initial reports indicated Prosser collapsed while jogging on campus. The Winston-Salem Journal is now reporting that Prosser collapsed in his office in the Manchester Athletic Center. Assistant coach Mike Muse administered CPR until emergency-medical technicians arrived to take Prosser to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
ESPN reports Prosser had left the AAU National Tournament in Orlando at 6 this morning to return to Wake for a week of basketball camp. Mark was watching games in Orlando when he received a phone call around 2:40 this afternoon and immediately left the gym.
In addition to Mark, Prosser is survived by his Prosser his wife, Nancy, and another son, Scott

After just three non-conference home games last season, Bucknell is set to host at least seven contests in Sojka Pavilion this winter.
According to Tom Housenick of The Daily Item, Bucknell's 2007-08 schedule opens Nov. 10 in Sojka against Albany. Other home games will include visits by Marist (Nov. 28), St. Francis (Pa., Dec. 1), La Salle (Dec. 3), Cornell (Dec. 19) and Ohio University (Jan. 2).
Bucknell could also potentially host a BracketBusters matchup.
Road highlights include a Nov. 18 visit to Villanova and a Dec. 16 trip to Wake Forest. Bucknell will also play in Cal's Golden Bear Classic Dec. 28-29. Other non-league road games include Towson, Wagner, Drexel and St. Bonaventure.
Housenick reports five of the Bison's first seven league games are also at home, starting with the Jan. 12 conference opener against Navy.

Not much excitement in the Naval Academy's schedule for the coming season.
Despite Billy Lange's comment that the Midshipmen face the "most balanced and hardest schedule" since he has been Navy's coach, there is not a lot to get excited about. Just four teams on the Mids' slate reached the postseason last year, and they will only play three of the four.
Penn and Virginia are part of the field for the Philly Classic, where Navy will meet Seton Hall in the first round. The Quakers and the Wahoos both went to the big dance last season, but Navy will only meet one of them in the tournament since those two meet in the first round.
Other postseason teams on the slate are NIT first round loser Drexel, which should be one of the most challenging games on the schedule, and San Diego State, another NIT participant last season.
The San Diego State game is a good bit of scheduling, giving the Mids a double bonus by getting Greg Sprink a homecoming game three days before Navy's football team is expected to play in the Pointsettia Bowl (they are contractually in if they win six games) in San Diego.
The Drexel game, along with a home game against Robert Morris, is actually part of the eight-team Philly Classic, which is being billed as a "hybrid" tournament.
While the schedule lacks major conference names, it makes a lot of sense. Like last season's slate, it gives Lange's young squad a chance to develop some confidence in the non-conference portion and should also allow the Mids to build a respectable RPI before opening league play.

Relax Bucknell folks. He says it is not happening. But apparently Bison coach Pat Flannery flirted with the idea of a return to Division 3 Lebanon Valley, where he won a D-3 national title before taking over the Bucknell program.
According to a report in the Lebanon Daily News, Flannery was interested in LVC's soon to be vacant athletics director job. The story says Flannery confirmed he had some interest in the post, but has withdrawn his name from consideration.

Bucknell grad Charles Lee, the 2006 Patriot League Player of the Year, is getting another look from the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA.
Lee, who was one of the Spurs last cuts last preseason, is the only Patriot League player listed on any NBA summer league rosters thus far. Lee will play in the Las Vegas summer league with the Spurs and will also be with the team in the Rocky Mountain Revue in Salt Lake City.
Not all the teams rosters for Las Vegas (which starts Friday) have been posted, and not all teams are participating in the Sin City summerfest, so it is still possible guys like Holy Cross' Torey Thomas and Keith Simmons could end up playing someplace.
Both worked out for several NBA teams prior to last week's draft. Simmons reportedly impressed the folks with the Utah Jazz, so that could be a summer possibility for this season's league POY. The Jazz are not playing in Vegas. They host the Rocky Mountain Review.
