Men's basketball. Guard. No. 30. 1997-98 to 2000-01. Sioux City, Iowa, Sioux City West.
Kyle Galloway was the first player in Sioux City West history to score 1,000 varsity points. He lettered three years for coach Jim Hinrich, West went 40-4 over his last two seasons, and the Wolverines reached the Class 4A state tournament in 1996 and 1997. In the 1997 finals against Mason City he scored 37 points and made the all-tournament team.
He came to Iowa on a presidential academic scholarship, not a basketball one, and walked on for Tom Davis in 1997-98. As a freshman he played in 31 games, started five, and shot 38 percent from three.
When Steve Alford took over in 1999-2000, the walk-on became a starter: 18 starts in 30 games, 8.5 points a game and 84 percent at the free throw line. That was the season Alford's Hawkeyes opened by beating No. 1 Connecticut 70-68 at Madison Square Garden.
In 2000-01 he was on the Iowa team that won the Big Ten tournament as a No. 6 seed, beating Indiana 63-61 in the final. He finished with 77 career games and was Academic All-Big Ten in 2000 and 2001.
Today he is the CFO of Barker Companies in Iowa City and an assistant coach for the City High girls' basketball team. In 2025 the IHSAA inducted him into its Basketball Hall of Fame.
