Career
A native of Newark, New Jersey, Bailey played at Wagner College for four years and established himself as one of the Northeast Conference"s all-time greatest players. Bailey played in 110 career games and scored a conference record 2,591 points, nearly 300 more than the next closest player. Bailey once had back-to-back 40 point games and was named Sports Illustrated"s Player of the Week.
The New York Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association twice named him to their All-Met team, and after his collegiate career ended, he was selected in the second round (42nd overall) in the 1987 National Basketball Association Draft by the Atlanta Hawks.
Bailey never played in the league, however, and today lives in Trenton where he works as a pre-school teacher.
