Haddow played college basketball at East Los Angeles JC and Grand Canyon College, As a freshman he began his college career in the California junior college ranks before moving to Grand Canyon for his final two seasons.
By the 1973-74 season, Haddow was a junior guard-forward at Grand Canyon College under head coach Ben Lindsey and wore No. 24 on a team that went 28-2, won the NAIA District VII title, opened the year with 24 straight wins, finished 13-0 at home, and advanced to the NAIA National Tournament.
In that 1973-74 season, Haddow led Grand Canyon in scoring at 16.4 points per game and shot .500 from the field and .814 from the foul line, making 205 field goals and 83 free throws while totaling 119 rebounds at 4.0 per game.
Grand Canyon’s 1973-74 roster placed Haddow alongside Bayard Forrest, David Everett, Rodney Hightower, Kelly Bateman and Rob Babcock, and he was one of the main perimeter scorers on one of the strongest teams in program history.
Haddow returned for 1974-75 as a senior guard, again wearing No. 24 for Ben Lindsey, and Grand Canyon went 30-3, won the NAIA District VII title again, captured the NAIA national championship, and became Arizona’s first basketball national champion.
During that championship season, Haddow averaged 15.8 points per game and ranked second on the team behind Bayard Forrest’s 18.2, while Grand Canyon scored 2,523 points as a team and finished the year on a 13-game winning streak.
Haddow’s free-throw shooting was a major part of that title run, and he made 14 straight free throws without a miss against Missouri-Kansas City on December 19, 1974, a Grand Canyon single-game mark that still stood in later program record books.
He also set the Grand Canyon season record for consecutive free throws made with 32 in 1974-75, and his 1973-74 and 1974-75 seasons both finished as the program’s yearly leaders in free-throw percentage at .813 and .824.
In the 1975 district tournament, Haddow helped push Grand Canyon into the national field with scoring games of 26 and 28 points.
At the NAIA National Tournament in Kansas City, Haddow scored 16 second-half points in a 66-63 comeback win over Illinois Wesleyan in the second round, then added 19 points in an 88-68 semifinal win over Alcorn State before Grand Canyon beat Midwestern State 66-54 in the championship game.
Haddow finished his Grand Canyon career as part of back-to-back powerhouse teams, with the 1973-74 group reaching the national tournament and the 1974-75 group winning the national title, and he remained one of the key scorers and best foul shooters in that era of the program.
He later was remembered as one of the All-Americans on Grand Canyon’s 1974-75 national championship team alongside David Everett and Bayard Forrest.
