Dino Gaudio has replaced Skip Prosser before.
More than two decades ago, Gaudio replaced Prosser at a parochial high school in West Virginia and eventually led that team to a state title. On Wednesday, Wake Forest chose Gaudio to again take Prosser’s place, this time in the cutthroat Atlantic Coast Conference.
“Just like this situation, he left me good players,” said Gaudio, 50, who got a five-year contract. “Following him was a terrific tribute. He laid the foundation, set the table and it all worked out, and I hope the same thing happens here.”
