About Me

The Sideline Reporter for the Portland Trail Blazers, sports broadcaster for Big Ten Network in Chicago, and host for Fox Sports Net (FSN) in Los Angeles, Rebecca Haarlow loves the constant demands of broadcasting live television. Growing up in Chicago, Illinois, she was an avid Bulls and Cubs fan and competed in soccer, gymnastics, diving and track and field. After placing third in triple jump on the national level, Haarlow attended Princeton University, winning the Heptathlon at the Ivy League Track and Field Championships as a freshman. Later elected captain of Princeton's track team, Haarlow studied history and joined Kappa Alpha Theta and Tiger Inn Club. Haarlow began her professional career working for ABC in San Francisco, the Pac-10 mens basketball tournament, and as a radio intern for the Golden State Warriors, where she conducted and edited post-game locker room interviews.



The rush of athletics and studious game preparation had the scholar-athlete hooked on sports broadcasting from day one. Currently one of the youngest broadcasters in the NBA, her remarks bring game stats to life and inform viewers what the players and coaches are doing on and off the basketball court. At home games or traveling with the team on the road, Haarlow can be found joining huddles, interviewing spectators, and conducting interviews on the floor or in the locker room. One of the Big Ten Networks initial hires, Haarlow is in her second season as a college football sideline reporter, as well as other NCAA sports. Despite her busy broadcast schedule in the United States, she has also found time to travel to Australia with FSN, as a host of the Aussie Millions poker tournament. In her downtime, she enjoys running, snowboarding, and spending time with family and friends.
