STATISTICS & HISTORY

While still in high school, he began tinkering with a one-handed shot. His shot was sometimes a one-handed set shot and sometimes more of a hook. but in both case it was innovative. Haarlow attended the University of Chicago from 1933 to 1936 at a time when the school was a member of the Big Ten Conference. He was one of the top scorers in the conference throughout his college career, leading the league in scoring as a junior. He was named to the Converse All-American team in his junior and senior years. Haarlow played for Whiting in the National Basketball League for two seasons. After retiring as a player, he served as a Big-Ten referee for 12 seasons before becoming supervisor of conference basketball officials for 17 more years.
