Todd Michael Jadlow (born April 26, 1966) is an American former professional basketball player. He played the center and forward positions. 6'9" tall, he played collegiately for the Indiana University (Bloomington) Hoosiers from 1985 to 1989 and was a member of Coach Bob Knight's junior college recruits and one of Knight's all-time favorite players.[1]

Career

[edit]

At Indiana University, Jadlow saw action in a total of 84 games, averaging 6.8 points as well as 3.5 rebounds per contest. He won the 1987 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball National Championship with the Hoosiers, but did not appear in the championship game against Syracuse.[2]

Of all of Knight's former players, Jadlow might have taken the Coach's dismissal from IU his hardest. "I don't know what I'm going to do with all my Indiana stuff," Jadlow said after Knight's firing. "I'm sure not going to be wearing anything Indiana. For the first time in my life I'm ashamed to say that I'm a graduate of Indiana." He went on to say: "I, personally, don't believe the two-faced (IU) administration… It's just sad the way things transpired. This is a guy (Knight) who should have a monument of him erected."

Out of college, Jadlow played for the Pensacola Tornados in the CBA in 1989–90,[3] but also spent time with French LNB side Caen BC the same season, averaging 25.4 points and 7.7 rebounds a game for Caen.[4] In 1990–91 (Bellinzona Basket) and 1991–92 (Fribourg Olympic Basket), Jadlow played in Switzerland. With Fribourg, playing for coach Joe Whelton, he captured the 1992 Swiss national championship title.[5] In 1992–93, Jadlow had stints at Telindus Oostende in Belgium[6] and Berck in France.[4] Later in his playing career, he turned out for Estudiantes de Bahía Blanca and Olímpia de Venado Tuerto in Argentina, winning the 1996 Argentina championship.[7] Jadlow was a member of USBL's Salina Cagerz in the late 1990s.[8]
