Just subclass the UITableView and override reloadData function:

Header

@interface MyUITableView : UITableView

Function

- (void)reloadData {
    [super reloadData];
    NSLog("Hello");
}

To use it you make instantiate MyUITableView instead of UITableView

This is the best way to do this. – sosborn Oct 18 '11 at 06:11
so no why to achieve without subclassing? also I was asking about is there a way to override within in my UITableViewController...so is the answer I have to create a custom subclass for UITableView, and then in my UITableViewController XIB make sure it's internal view points to my MyUITableView as opposed to UITableView? – Greg Oct 18 '11 at 06:30

Yes, you must change the class of the UITableView in interface builder if you use it. – Andreas Oct 18 '11 at 06:39
