- Redirect to Fairfield Stags men's basketball. I didn't find anything significant during a search but there are several mentions of him on Newspapers.com, mostly from his college basketball career. Alvaldi (talk) 11:27, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- There's a piece that's arguably sigcov here from the Westport Town Crier. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:57, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Good find, thats indeed sigcov. If at least 1-2 more can be found I'm happy to change my !vote. In the meantime, I've added it to the article. Alvaldi (talk) 16:35, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

- Note: He seems to have been more successful as a businessperson than athlete. I found some newspaper content relating to a lawsuit against Rafferty Capital Markets, his firm. Not sure the firm would pass notability for corporations, but perhaps a redirect to a section on the biography would suffice instead. Rockaway.HTM (talk) 15:11, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
