Skip Prosser was laid to rest Saturday in Cincinnati, a city where he worked as an assistant and head coach, and a town he clearly loved. Nine hundred people or so came to pay their respects.
In the wake of his death, people are likely going to take a closer look at stress. So it's perhaps reasonable to ask if Thad Matta, the current Ohio State coach who succeeded Prosser at Xavier, can trace his significant back problems to stress.
