Dick Fitzgerald (basketball)

Dick Fitzgerald (basketball)

Richard Fitzgerald (November 18, 1920–April 13, 1968) was an American professional basketball player.

A 6'2" forward from Fordham University,[1] Fitzgerald played parts of two seasons (1946-47; 1947-48) in the Basketball Association of America as a member of the Toronto Huskies and Providence Steamrollers. He averaged 4.5 points in 61 games.[2] He also served as interim player-coach of the Huskies for three games in his first season, after the team's previous player-coach, Ed Sadowski, expressed dissatisfaction with his role on the team.[3] Fitzgerald posted a 2-1 record.[4]

Fitzgerald's older brother, Bob, also played in the BAA, and the two were teammates on the Huskies during the 1946-47 season.[3]
