Marlin won the award back in 2010
BOSTON, Ma. – Louisiana's head men's basketball coach Bob Marlin was named a finalist for the 2023 Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award announced Monday by CollegeInsider.com. The Skip Prosser Man of the Year award honors those who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who display moral integrity off of it as well.
Marlin, who won the award in 2010, is one of 25 finalists for the national award.
In six years with the Deacons, Prosser posted a 126-68 record. For his career, he was 291-146 in 14 seasons including six as the head coach at Xavier and one year at Loyola (Md.).
At Wake Forest, Prosser's teams averaged 21 wins per season while playing in arguably the nation's most difficult league, the Atlantic Coast Conference. Prosser won 100 games at an ACC school quicker than all but two coaches in the 55-year history of the conference. He coached NBA stars Chris Paul and Josh Howard, led the Demon Deacons to the first No. 1 national ranking in school history and earned ACC Coach of the Year honors in 2003.
Prosser passed away of an apparent heart attack on July 26, 2007 in his office at Wake Forest. He had just returned from his morning jog.
The recipient of the 2023 award will be announced in March, in Houston site of the men's NCAA Basketball Championship.
