CHRIS MACK WINS THE 2011 SKIP PROSSER AWARD


HOUSTON, TX -- Xavier’s Chris Mack distinguished himself from a talented group of Finalists to be named the winner of the 2011 Skip Prosser Man of the Year award.

Mack just completed his second season as Xavier’s coach and his accomplishments at the school are already extremely impressive. Last year he was the only rookie head coach to lead his team into the 2010 NCAA Tournament. In addition, Mack became the first Xavier head coach to guide XU to the Sweet 16 in either his first or second season at the helm.

In the 2010-11 campaign Xavier finished the season with a 24-8 record that included an almost perfect 15-1 mark in Atlantic 10 play. For his efforts he was named the 2010-11 Atlantic 10 Conference Coach of the Year by his peers.

The Skip Prosser Award was established in 2008 to honor those who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who display moral integrity off of it as well. Prosser posted a career record of 291-146 in 14 seasons as a head coach. During his time at Wake Forest, his teams averaged 21 wins per season while playing in arguably the nation’s most difficult league, the Atlantic Coast Conference.
