As they do after every big win, the extended Wake Forest community gathered in the quad last night to "roll" the trees. But this time it wasn't in celebration of a defeat of the Heels or Devils, it was in mourning of their lost coach.

Wake is one of the smallest and most closely knit schools in all of major college sports, and Skip Prosser was a beloved and respected figure on campus. Nearly every student or staff member had had some form of contact with him, and his patience, kindness and willingness to talk with anyone were legendary. At Wake, his loss will be felt by everyone at a personal level.

With several of his former players on hand (including Chris Paul), the quad was poignantly rolled for Skip for the final time. The sad and poignant pictures tell the tale of a University that lost a beloved family member yesterday.
