Fairfield University
When Fairfield opened its doors in 1942,
it became the 26th institution of higher
learning operated by the Jesuit Order in the
United States- and, as such, the inheritor of
a tradition oflearning that dates back to 1540
when St Ignatius Loyola founded the Society
of Jesus.
Students came to Fairfield because they
share common goals: the striving for
excellence in every area of life; the commitment
to intellectual honesty, discipline
and inquiry; the ideals of liberal arts education
and the expression of Christian values through
concern for and service to others.
In its initial class of freshman, Fairfield
had an enroLlment of 303 students - all male
- entering the College of Arts and Sciences
in 1947 In 1970 the University began
admitting women to all of its undergraduate
programs.
Today Fairfield has an undergraduate
enroLlment of nearly 2,800 full-time students
attending its College of Arts and Sciences,
School of Nursing and School of Business.
Fairfield is almost equally divided in its
enrollment between men and women, and
has over 4,000 additional students enrolled
in the other University-operated programs.
The University also offers three graduate
programs. In 1950, Fairfield began holding
graduate classes in education. The Graduate
School of Corporate and Political Communication
was opened in 1966, and in 1981, the
School of Business established a Master of
Science in Financial Management.
Non-credit adult programs were offered in
the mid-sixties and credit programs in 1972,
prior to the establishment of the School of
Continuing Education in 1979. This school
provides a broad selection of credit courses
designed for the learning needs of adults.

Fairfield's campus enjoys a scenic location
with a view of Long Island Sound The 25
campus buildings include eight residence
halls, a modem Campus Center, Bannow
Science Center, the School of Nursing,
Nyselius Library and a student Recreational
Complex, which is located adjacent to the
Fairfield University Gymnasium. Additional
campus features include the Fairfield
University Playhouse and Drama Center,
the Center for Financial Studies, and the
Connecticut Public Television ( CPTV) studio.
A new Faculty Office Building, which
opened in 1981, is the headquarters for the
School of Business and the Graduate School
of Corporate and Political Communication,
and also houses faculty offices and classrooms.
Ballarmine Hall, formerly the Jesuit
residence, has been renovated and serves as
the University's administrative center.
The University is governed by a Board of
Trustees which establishes broad institutional
policy and direction. The President of
Fairfield University is the Rev. Aloysius P
Kelley, S.J., who took office in 1979. He is
responsible for implementing the board's
policies and overseeing the day-to-day operations
of the independent institution of higher
learning.
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
C. Donald Cook
One wonders how Don Cook finds enough hours in the day to do the job he does as
the Athletic Director at Fairfield.
Since taking over as the Fairfield AD in 1971, when he was just 30 years old, he
has guided the department through a tremendous period of growth. With 11
intercollegiate teams now competing, several club sports and a comprehensive
intramural program, Cook has his hands full.
Yet he still finds time to coach the Stag baseball team, which he has developed into
one of the finest programs in the East and consistant post-season tournament
contender
Cook, a 1963 graduate ofF airfield, is also deeply involved in the workings of the
Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and the Eastern College Athletic Conference, to
which the University is allied.
Cook was instrumental in the creation of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference a
few years ago. Said conference commissioner Jim McDermott, "Don Cook's efforts
were the major impetus in laying the foundation for what should be a highly successful
conference."
During the conference's first year of competition, the 1981-82 season, Cook
served as the MAAC president. Now he is chairman of the Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference new membership committee.
Cook has been involved in ECAC affairs for many years in a variety of roles. He
has served on many selection committees, both in basketball and baseball.
He is a past chairman of the ECAC baseball committee, which designed selection
procedures for the post season baseball tournaments, is the ECAC representative to the
U.S. Baseball Federation and is currently serving for the third year on the ECAC
eligibility committee. He is also the president of the executive committee of the ECAC
baseball umpires bureau.
Cook graduated from Fairfield in 1963 with a BSS in economics. In 1967 he
earned his MA in counseling and guidance and in 197 6 he got his MA in human
communications at the Fairfield Graduate School of Corporate and Political
Communication.
Cook lives in Fairfield with wife Donna and their two children, Chris and
Courtney

The
Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference
By Its Numb~rs.
One of the most important developments in
the history of Fairfield University athletics in
general and basketball in particular was the
formation of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Fairfield is a charter member of the
Conference, which also includes the U.S. Military
Academy at West Point, Fordham University,
Iona College, Manhattan College and St. Peter's
College.
The competition in basketball last season
among conference teams was outstanding. Fairfield
was 3-7 during the regular season, but among
those seven losses were overtime decisions to
Manhattan and Fordham, and a memorable fiveovertime
loss to Iona, 102-100.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Stags
defeated Manhattan before bowing in the semiflllals,
56-50, to St. Peter's.
Iona claimed the MAAC championship
tournament, which was played at the Byrne
Meadowlands Arena, one of the finest basketball
facilities in the country.
lona fmished the season with a record of24-8,
narrowly missing an NCAA bid but joining two
other MAAC teams, Fordham (18-10) and St.
Peter's (20-8) in the NIT St. Peter's had fmished
the regular season on top of the league standings
with a 9-1 record.
While Army fmished at the bottom of the
basketball standings, the Cadet's strength in other
sports inabled them to earn the MAAC's first
Commissioner's Cup.
With competition in seven sports, Army won
conference titles in baseball, beating Fairfield in a
battle for the crown on the final day of the regular
season last spring, golf and tennis.
The Cadet's also came up with a second place
flllish in soccer, a third place finish in women's
basketball and a third place fmish in cross country.
Fairfield's best finishes came in basebaH and
golf, where the Stags were second to Army.
The MAAC's first year was a very successful
one indeed Having its basketball championship in
the Meadowlands was an important step. Having
such a fiiSt class arena host the games made the
event especially appealing to players, coaches and
fans alike. This year's tournament will be back at
the Meadowlands again.
5
Also, there was the conference connection
with Dunn & Bradstreet, Inc., one of the natio~s
most prestigious corporations. D & B is sponson..&
the men's basketball tournament and the PlayeroC
the Week awards. Also, D & B is holding seminars
on business and computer sciences at the six
conference institutions and keeping recruiters on
campus to meet with graduating seniors.
The MAAC also had one of the highest
percentages of graduating seniors among its basketball
players of any conference in the nation
according to figures compiled by The Sporting
News. All 17 seniors playing at MAAC schools
graduated this spring.

The final record in Head Coach Terry
O'Connor's rookie season at Fairfield came up
seven games short of the .500 mark, but his
positive impact on the basketball program goes
well beyond the numbers 11-18.
O'Connor, a 34-year-old native of Hyde
Park, N.Y., brought a new enthusiasm to Fairfield
basketball. His team, at the expense of a somewhat
wornout phrase, was probably the best ll- 18 team
anywhere. The Stags were exciting to watch; fan
and student support was as strong as ever, perhaps
stronger than it bad been in several years.
And O'Connor was the key. His personality,
open, warm, receptive, energetic and determined,
encouraged player
and spectator alike.
If the Stags can
return to the glory
days of the 70's,
O'Connor is the
one who can lead
them there.
The Fairfield
schedule last year was gruelling, ranked the second
toughest in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
The season opener was against Ralph Sampson
and the University ofVirginia. The Stags came out
of that one a 40-point loser. O'Connor was
unruffled. Two nights later his team carne back to
beat Virgi nia Commonwealth, a team that went on
to win 17 games and fmisb second in the tough Sun
Belt Conference.
How close were the Stags to an outstanding
record in O'Connor's first year? Consider a fourpoint
loss to the University of Connecticut, a
double overtime set back to Boston College, which
got to the NCAA fmal eight Also overtime losses
to Princeton, Manhattan and Fordham.
Terry O'Connor
Head Coach
Hometown: Hyde Park, N.Y
Date of Birth: April 20, 194 7
Alma Mater: Niagara, 1969
Season: Second
Then, in one of the most incredible games
ever played by a Fairfield team, the Stags dropped
a 102-100 decision to powerful Ion a in a remarkable
five overtimes. Ion a finished up with a 24-8 record,
and won the MAAC tournament championship.
ln the first MAAC playoffs, O'Connor directed
the Stags past Manhattan in the opening round
and then in the semifinals, battled talented St.
Peter's (20-8) to the wire before bowing, 56-50.
The post-season Booster Club awards dinner
drew a record crowd, and how many head coaches
can keep a Booster Club happy after a sut>-.500
season?
After taking the job at Fairfield in the Spring
of 1981, O'Connor
~toexpanj
the Fairfield recruiting
style. "We
have an outstanding
product," he
said, "We can get
good high school
players with good
grades to come to Fairfield. We have the academic
reputation, and the basketball tradition to do it.''
His first recruiting class proved the point. He
has brought in players from White Plains to the
West Coast. And another from Ohio.
O'Connor is experienced in the world of
recru iting on a wide scale basis. He did justthat in
his four years as the assistant at Harvard, from
where he was summoned to Fairfield.
While at Harvard, he helped resurrected the
Crimson basketball program with Head Coach
Frank McLaughlin. Before joining McLaughlin at
Harvard, O'Connor coached five years at Cayuga
County Community College in Auburn, N.Y His
fi!St team there was 5-17 His second was 14-9.
6
His next three all went to the NJCAA
Regional Tournament.
When the Fairfield coaching position
opened late in the I 980-81 season, over
140 coaches applied. Eight Division I
head coaches sent applications. The
screening was exhaustive, and when it
was over Terry O'Connor was the man
chosen. " Nobody was even close," said
Athletic Director Don Cook.
O'Connor, who lives in nearby
Trumbull with wife Mary Ann, had impressed
the selection committee with the
same honest enthusiasm that showed on
the court during his first season.
O'Connor has spent a great deal of
time rebuilding and expanding the Booster
Club, enlisting more community support,
and strengthening ties with alumni and
former players. He recognizes the need
for support from those comers if the Stags
are to grow.
In just a year, O'Connor and his staff
have put a great deal of work into putting
Fairfield back on the map. And while all
that work might not show up in large
winning numbers this season, the Future
is indeed bright.
The Stags are a young club, just one
senior on the team. His freshmen will all
play, and play a lot. And the recruiting
work will go on.
It is a huge task, one that could only
be accepted by a man with the determination
of Terry O'Connor.

Ed Janka
Assistant Coach
Fairfield University is very fortunate to have a coach with the experience of Ed
Janka serving as the assistant to Terry O'Connor
Coach Janka is a veteran of the college basketball wars, having been a head coach
and an assistant coach on several levels of competition. He came to Fairfield last year,
quickly hired by O'Connor as soon as the position became available.
At the time Janka, a native of Chicago, was serving as the head basketball coach at
Oberlin College in Akron, Ohio.
Coaching basketball has been a part of Coach Janka's life since his graduation
from Marquette in 1968. He played both freshman and varsity basketball at Marquette,
and as a senior served as an assistant coach there under AI McQuire. The Warriors
went 23-6 that season, were ranked in the top ten in both wire service polls and reached
the NCAA Mideast Regional before bowing to Kentucky
After graduating from Marquette, Janka served as an assistant high school coach
in Illinois and from 1970 to 1972 he was the head coach at Weber High School in
Chicago.
Janka returned to Marquette as an assistant to McQuire for the 1972-73 season,
another strong year for the Warriors. That season saw Marquette produce a 25-4
season. They were ranked in the top five in both wire services and advanced to the
NCAA Mideast Regional before losing to Indiana.
The following year he was named the head coach at John Carroll University in
University Heights, Ohio. His first year there he was named Coach of the Year in
Northeastern Ohio by the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Janka was atJohn Carroll unti11977, when he left to become the head coach of the
Brill of Cagliare team in the Italian Professional Basketball League.
After a year in Italy, he returned to become the assistant coach at the University of
Detroit before taking the head coaching position at Oberlin and his subsequent move to
Fairfield.
Janka is well known in college circles not only as a respected coach, but also as
speaker and director at camps and clinics in the Midwest, Canada and now here in the
East.
Coach Janka and wife Mimi are residents of Trumbull, CT They have three
children, Charlie and Mindy, both students at Trumbull High School, and Scott, a
student and member of the football team at the University of Akron.

Joe DeSantis
Assistant Coach
Joining the staff this season as a full-time assistant coach is former Fairfield star
Joe DeSantis. The Stags' all-time leading scorer, Joey D was a part-time assistant a
year ago and came on full-time when Fairfield expanded its staff to include three fulltime
coaches this past fall.
Probably no player ever to perform for the Stags is more recognizable than
DeSantis. His career at Fairfield, from 197 5-1979, produced a flock of records, awards
and recognition for both DeSantis and the basketball program as a whole.
Joe, who will be assisting in all phases of coaching, on the bench, recruiting and
scouting, came to Fairfield after a star-studded career at Tolentine High School in the
Bronx.
He was instant star at Fairfield. A 6-foot-2 guard who could perform magic with
the ball in his hands, DeSantis was the team's leading scorer as a freshman with a 16.8
per game average. He was also the top freshman scorer inN ew England and named the
UPI New England Rookie of the Year and picked on the ECAC All-Freshman team.
The Sporting News selected him as an honorable mention All-American after his
sophomore year, when he again led the Stags in points and assists.
Also as a sophomore, DeSantis was an All-New England and All-Met New York
pick.
DeSantis' junior year was the Stags go 22-5, go to the ECAC New England
Regional and the NIT DeSantis scored 544 points that year, missing by two the single
season scoring record of Frank Magaletta. Ironically, DeSantis fouled out with seven
minutes left to play in the NIT loss to Dayton, two points short of tying the Magaletta
record.
His senior year was remarkable considering he came off a broken ankle, suffered in
an auto accident early in September. After an operation DeSantis was back in the
starting lineup for the Stags' opener on Nov 27 That was in the New Orleans Classic
and DeSantis played well enough to win the MVP honors.
He went on to win three MVP titles in tournaments that year Again he led the team
in assists and was second in scoring to Mark Young.
DeSantis and Young were both chosen in the second round of that year's NBA
draft. DeSantis, chosen by the Bullets, opted to pass up the NBA and signed with Milan
in the Italian Basketball League, where he was a sensation with the Italian basketball
fans from the start.
He played one year of basketball back in the states, for the Maine Lumberjacks of
the Continental Pro League, before turning to coaching.
Joe lives with wife Theresa in Trumbull.
9
Jim Kish
Ron Ross
Assistant Coach
Although listed as a part-time assistant, Jim Kish spends many
hours working with the basketball program, in recruiting as well as
practices and games.
He is starting his ftfth season with the Stags, coming to Fairfield
following a remarkable career as the head coach at Warren Harding
High School in Bridgeport, CT
Under Kish' s direction, Harding turned out one of the finest
scholastic records in the East He spent ten seasons as the head
coach, with a record of 174-48, a winning percentage of 788.
Kish's team won the Connecticut State scholastic championship
twice and played in the title game six times. Over the final six years of
his career at Harding, Kish saw his teams produce a record of 123-
23, a .848 winning percentage.
Two of his former players are now in the NBA. They are Wes
Matthews of the Atlanta Hawks and John Bagley of the Cleveland
Caveliers.
Coach Kish and wife Mary are residents of Trumbull and have
four daughters, Maureen, Patty, Sheila and Kerry.
Assistant Coach
Ron Ross is a graduate student at Fairfield University, in
education, and is serving as a volunteer assistant with the basketball
team.
Ross is 24-years-old and a native of Dennison, Ohio. He played
scholastic basketball at Tuscarawas Central Catholic High School
there, graduating in 197 6. He enjoyed an outstanding scholastic
career, scoring better than 25 points a game as a senior. He was a first
team All-Ohio pick in 1976.
The following season he played varsity basketball at Lafayette,
under Dr. Tom Davis. He later transferred to Dayton, from where he
was graduated in 1980.
For the past two seasons he has been the head junior varsity and
assistant varsity basketball coach at Central Catholic under head
coach Joe Pangrazio. His jayvee team posted a two-year mark of28-
12 and won a conference title.
Ross was recruited as a scholastic player by Stag assistant Ed
Janka, who then was the head coach at John Carroll.
John Convertito Student Manager
A junior management major at Fairfield, John Convertito is a
nearly irreplaceable part of the athletic department As head
manager for the men's basketball team, he performs a wide variety of
chores for the coaching staff. He also manages the athletic equipment
room, taking care of the needs of all the school's athletic teams.
John is a native of Redding, CT., and a 1980 graduate of
Immaculate High School in Danbury. He played two seasons of
varsity baseball at Immaculate.
A versatile member of the school's athletic program, John has
done everything from washing towels to writing the computer
program that calculates the basketball statistics for both the men's
and women's basketball teams.
10
Stags on Radio and Television
Again this season, radio station WNAB (1450) in Bridgeport will broadcast Fairfield University
basketball at home and on the road. WN AB news director Bob Ritzert, a veteran of Fairfield basketball since
the 1972-73 season, will be doing the play-by-play.
Also this year, through a grant from StateN ational Bank of Connecticut, Connecticut Public Television
station WEDW-channel 49 will be doing Fairfield basketball.
Channel-49 will present six Stag games live. Games to be televised are Canisius (Nov. 30), Brown (Jan.
15), lona (Jan. 24), Yale (Jan. 29), St Peter's (Feb. 2) and Fordham (Feb. 16).
In addition, Southern Connecticut Cable (Cablevision A) will be doing four other games, to be shown on
delayed tape the following night. Games to be shown are Lehigh (Dec. 4 ), two games in the Bankers' Classic
(Jan. 7-8 at Fairfield) and the Feb. 24 games against the University of New Hampshire.
Cablevision A will also present the weekly Terry O'Connor show, which will feature coach O'Connor
along with visiting players and coaches.
Finally, the game Feb. 26 against American University from the Meadowlands will be televised over
Madison Square Garden Cable.
Alumni Hall
Home for Fairfield University basketball is Alumni Hall, a 3,022-seat facility near the center of the
Fairfield campus. The building opened in the late 50's as a 1500 seat gym and prior to the 1972-7 3 season,
the building was renovated and the seating improved to its current capacity. Fairfield over the years has been
tough to beat in its own facility. Since the 1972-73 season, the Stags are 111 -29 at home. During the 1976-77
season, Fairfield was 13-0 at home and the following year the Stags posted a I 7-1 home record. In both 1972-
73 and 1973-74, Fairfield was 11-1 at home. The trend has not held up in recent years however. Of the 29
losses at home, 15 have come over the last three years, with five each year.
11
Stags' Outlook for 1982-83
When a team graduates three starters and loses a fourth to disciplinary
action you have genuine grounds for concern.
But nobody at Fairfield is going around making any preseason apologies.
In fact, the mood is upbeat if anything as the Stags head into their 35th year of
intercollegiate basketball.
Coming back for the Stags is 6-foot-11 center Pete DeBisschop, an AllConference
selection last year and a player who has developed over three years
as a starter into one of the finest big men in the East Pete is destined to become
the 18th player to score over 1,000 points in a Fairfield uniform if he can repeat
last year's output
Also back is 6-foot-0 guard Bobby Hurt. He sat out the last half of the
1981-82 season with academic problems. Prior to that time he had started 40
straight games for the Stags at point guard during his freshman and sophomore
seasons.
The late season play of 6-foot-5 junior forward Jerry Johnson is another
factor that has the coaching staff delighted. Johnson stepped into a starting spot
when Rich Wejnert was injured and in the MAAC playoffs against Manhattan,
Johnson had the finest game of his two years at Fairfield.
In addition, the play of 6-foot-9 sophomore center Craig Golden was
encouraging while 6-foot-5 guard John Leonard has shown dramatic improvement
during preseason drills, where he has been playing at small forward as well
as guard.
But the factor that has been most encouraging has been the performances
turned in by the Stag freshmen.
Tony George, a 6-foot-3 guard from East Orange, N.J. with first team allstate
credentials, is presenting a serious challenge for a starting guard spot
alongside Hurt He is strong, a good shooter, quick, solid defensively and a
pretty good passer.
Another freshman guard who has impressed the coaching staff is 6-foot-3
Tim O'Toole from White Plains, N.Y. He has the potential to be a fine point
guard. With veterans Hurt and Leonard, and the two freshmen, the Stags are
solid in the backcourt
Up front, the Stags are looking for big years from DeBisschop and
Johnson. DeBisschop averaged 12.8 points and 7. 7 rebounds a year ago. That
rebounding total was tops on the team and he also led the squad in blocked shots
with 36.
Johnson averaged close to five points and five rebounds as a reserve and he
could emerge as the top rebounder on the team this year.
Another freshman, Pat Yerina of Thousand Oaks, California, is pressing
for a starting spot at the forward spot opposite Johnson. Yerina could be the
finest shooter on the team and his accuracy from the corner will give Fairfield
something it has been lacking in recent seasons.
12
The coaching staff feels
that Y erina is the hardest
working player on the club
and he will be making a contribution
immediately
Another freshman forward
who will be heard from
this year is Jay Byrne. He
was named the MVP of the
Ohio Class A state tournament
last year, leading his
team to the state title. He is
another outstanding shooter
from the corners but he has
been slowed in the preseason
by a nagging thigh injury
To sum it up, Fairfield
is blessed with a talented and
13
deep backcourt. It has one of
the best pure centers in the
East but is small at the forward
spot, and a little thin on
the bench.
The Stags have better
all around speed this year,
and can certainly shoot the
ball better Missing is the
big, power forward.
With just two returning
starters and four freshmen
who will play a lot on hand, it
could be called a rebuilding
year. And it looks like a solid
group to build on.

Scouting Report
If the Stags had a theme song for the first five weeks of the season it would have to
be that Willie Nelson hit "On the Road Again."
Between the opener in Niagara Fails against Niagara on Nov. 27 and the Bankers'
Classic at Fairfield, Jan. 7-8, the Stags have only two, just two, games at home.
In less than one week, Dec. 7 thru 11, Fairfield will play UConn in New Haven,
Notre Dame in South Bend and St Joseph in Philadelphia.
Then after a week off, Fairfield is back on the road at Hofstra, Boston College,
Maine and Vermont
"It will be a tough stretch, no doubt about that," says Head Coach Terry
O'Connor.
But it will serve as a valuable tuneup for the January and February schedule of
games in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
The Stags will meet Army, Ion a, Fordham, Manhattan and St. Peter's on a homeand-
home basis with an eye on the post season MAAC playoffs.
Iona won the post season event last year at the Meadowlands and the Gaels of
coach Pat Kennedy look to have a powerful lineup once again.
The Gaels went 24-9 last year, were very surprisingly bypassed by the NCAA for
a tourney bid but did get a nod from the NIT Returning are a couple of players worthy
of All-America consideration. Guard Steve Burtt, the top scorer in the MAAC with a
22.1 per game average, and forward Gary Springer, the top rebounder in the c.onference
at 9.5, are returning to direct the Gael attack.
StPeter's won the regular season title with a 9-1 conference mark before bowing
in the playoff fmals to Iona. The Peacocks of coach Bob Dukiet fmished with a 20-9
record and also earned an NIT bid
Returning the Peacocks have Shelton Gibbs, a 6-4 swingman who was an AllMAAC
pick last year. There are also four college transfers eligible this year, including
6-6 forward Tom Best from Lafayette and 6-2 guard Marvin Wiggins from Fairleigh
Dickinson.
Fordham is another team coming off an NIT year. The Rams will be looking to
veterans David Maxwell, a 6-2 guard, Ed Bona, a 6-8 forward and 6-0 guard Mark
Murphy to have big years for Coach Tommy Penders.
Manhattan began to turn the program around last year under the direction of rookie
coach Gordy Chiesa. Some folks are picking the Jaspers to challenge for the league title
with oophomore forward Tim Cain, the MAAC Rookie of the Year last year, Joe
McGuinness, Jim Bronner, Luke Johnson and a good freshman class making their
presence felt
Army will have a new head coach, Les W othke, at the helm and five freshman
that are expected to contribute to the program from the start.
The Cadets recruited a 6-8 forward, two 6-7 forwards and a 6-2 guard, Steve
Hendershot, who was the top schoolboy scorer in the state of Indiana last year.
