Podcast: Adam Haluska talks hoops; stories behind Carver-Hawkeye Arena construction
IOWA CITY, Iowa – Former Iowa basketball star Adam Haluska made his weekly in-season appearance on the Hawk Fanatic radio show and podcast, and addressed multiple topics, including the decline in popularity of the long jump.
Remember, Haluska was also a high school track and field star, but he grew to 6-foot-5, and he said that convinced him to pursue basketball in college rather than track and field.
There was also an interesting discussion on the construction of Carver-Hawkeye Arena in the second-half of Wednesday’s nearly two-hour podcast, and why a middle mezzanine wasn’t included in the original floor plan.
Thanks to the callers who had first-hand knowledge about that subject because you brought a lot to the conversation.
