Darrin Fitzgerald is an American former basketball player who is known for his collegiate career at Butler University. Between 1983–84 and 1986–87, Fitzgerald scored 2,019 points, which is the third highest total in school history. He is 5'9" and played the point guard and shooting guard positions.
He is also known as a prolific three-point shooter. In his senior year, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) officially introduced three-pointers into college basketball. Fitzgerald took full advantage as he made an NCAA-record 158 threes in a single season (since broken by Stephen Curry in 2007–08), while his 5.64 made threes per game is a still-standing record (the next closest per-game average is a distant 4.96). Also in his senior year, Fitzgerald scored 54 points against Detroit, which is another school record. In all four seasons Fitzgerald led Butler in assists.
Fitzgerald also held a share of the NCAA Division I single-game three point shots made record for a few years upon tying Gary Bossert on February 9, 1987 with a 12–22 game against Detroit in a Division I Midwestern Collegiate Conference (now Horizon League) contest. That record was surpassed December 21, 1989 when Dave Jamerson went 14-for-17 for the Ohio Bobcats of the Mid-American Conference against NCAA Division II's Charleston Golden Eagles. On March 24, 1994, Askia Jones went 14–18 for Kansas State of the Big Eight Conference against Fresno State of NCAA Division I Western Athletic Conference.
