Mark Prosser is an American college basketball coach and current head coach of the Western Carolina Catamounts men's basketball team.[1]

Playing career

Prosser played one season of basketball at Marist before injuries stopped a playing career.[2] He continued on with the Red Foxes as a student assistant coach until his graduation in 2002.[3]

Coaching career

After graduation, Prosser landed his first assistant coaching position at Wofford under Mike Young, where he stayed for one season before heading to Bucknell for a six-year stint as an assistant for Pat Flannery, where he was part of the Bison staff when the team upset Kansas during the 2005 NCAA Tournament.[4]

Prosser returned to Wofford in 2008 where he stayed until 2011 when he accepted the head coaching job at Division II Brevard College. In one season at Brevard, Prosser recorded a 5-23 record, and subsequently resigned his position to accept a coaching position under Pat Kelsey at Winthrop.[5][6]

On March 27, 2018 Prosser became the 18th head coach in Western Carolina history, replacing Larry Hunter.[1]

Personal life

Prosser is the son of the late Skip Prosser, the former head coach at Xavier and Wake Forest.[7]
