At 1 p.m. Tuesday former Winthrop Associate Head Coach Mark Prosser was named the new Head Basketball Coach at Western Carolina. This will be Prosser’s second Head Coaching job having coached at Brevard College before coming to Winthrop.
Winthrop Athletic Director Ken Halpin said Prosser carries a lot of the weight of a program on his shoulders and does it in a quiet way.
Halpin said there have not yet been any conversations on whether any of the Winthrop staff would be leaving with Prosser.
Prosser was at Winthrop from 2012 to 2018 and helped guide the Eagles to 4 Big South Championship appearances and one NCAA tournament appearance.
