After playing three seasons of basketball at Marquette and graduating in 2008, Daniel Fitzgerald embarked on a seven-year pro career that took him to Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Argentina and Spain.
He hung up his sneakers in 2015, taking a job at Jacobus Wealth Management Inc. in Wauwatosa as the vice president of business development heading up professional athlete services.
But he hasn't been able to stay away from basketball for too long.
That's because the Marquette athletics department asked him if he would put together an alumni team for The Basketball Tournament, an open-application, single-elimination tournament that will be played for the third time this summer.
