==High school and college==
Lohaus was a [[McDonald's All-American]] in [[1982 McDonald's All-American Boys Game|1982]]<ref>[http://www.mcdonaldsallamerican.com/2007_boys_alumni.pdf McDonalds All-American Alumni] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080528211914/http://www.mcdonaldsallamerican.com/2007_boys_alumni.pdf |date=2008-05-28 }}</ref> at [[Greenway High School]] in [[Phoenix, Arizona]] under varsity coach [[Pete Babcock]], who went on to work for six different NBA franchises in various capacities, including general manager.
 
Lohaus played at Iowa from 1982 to 1987 under three different head coaches. He was recruited and played his freshman season under head coach [[Lute Olson]]. After Olson left for The University of Arizona, Lohaus reluctantly stayed at Iowa and played his sophomore and junior seasons under George Raveling (redshirting a year between seasons). He then flourished during his senior season under new coach [[Dr. Tom Davis]] as a shooting big man who defended the front of the Hawkeyes' fullcourt pressing defense. That year, the team reached the NCAA Elite Eight, ending with a school record 30 wins, with Lohaus averaging 11.3 points and leading the team in rebounds and blocked shots.
