I think that his father was on the radio during the Eustachy fiasco and said that Adam was staying in Ames, he is getting his degree here, etc. and Adam pretty much transferred within a week. I think that kind of rubbed people the wrong way.
If I remember correctly (and if anyone definitively knows, please feel free to step in and correct me), at the end of the 2002-03 season, there were rumors that Adam was going to be transferring out that got so out of control that Adam felt compelled to issue a public statement that he was going to be staying at Iowa State, and meanwhile, behind the scenes, Adam's meddling father was lobbying the WM coaching staff to hire a buddy of the Haluska family's as an assistant coach or director of basketball operations or something like that. When WM didn't hire the guy, the Haluska's threw a hissy fit and that is when Adam did indeed transfer to Iowa.
Sometimes I think college athletics would be so much better if we didn't have all these idiot parents who think their kid is going to be the next Micheal Jordan complaining about lack of playing time for their kids and trying to manipulate coaching staffs.
Regardless, while I don't stay awake at night thinking about ways to cause bodily harm to Adam Haluska, I'm not going to just blindly accept that he and his family are really great people either. That situation was about as poorly handled as it can get, and left a foul taste in my mouth.
