NORFOLK, Va. – Norfolk State men's basketball head coach Robert Jones is one of 25 finalists for the 2019 Skip Prosser Award, it was announced on Tuesday by College Insider.
 
The award is named for former Wake Forest head coach Skip Prosser, who died suddenly in 2007. It is presented annually to a coach who not only achieves success on the court but also displays moral integrity off of it.
 
Jones is one of two finalists from the MEAC along with Jay Joyner of North Carolina A&T. It is also the fifth time Jones has been nominated for an award by College Insider. He was a finalist for the Joe B. Hall Award for most outstanding first-year D-I head coach in 2014 and a three-time finalist for the Ben Jobe Award, presented to the top minority coach in D-I.
 
The recipient of the Skip Prosser award will be announced on April 5 at the College Insider Awards Event in Minneapolis, site of the 2019 NCAA Final Four.
