Iowa Energy Coaching Announcement

A note from the Iowa Energy regarding head coach Nick Nurse....


Energy Fans,

I wanted to reach out to you today to inform you that Energy Head Coach Nick Nurse
has accepted a coaching position outside of the Energy organization. We are thankful to Nick for his time in Iowa, and wish him the best in his future endeavors.

In the meantime, I felt it was important that our fans stay informed regarding the process of hiring the next Energy coach. As you know, the Energy have been the most successful team in NBA D-League history. What you may not know is that our franchise has the highest winning percentage of any active team in the D-League AND the NBA! We are ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics and every other team! I tell you this because we are committed to continuing this excellence in the years to come, and our coaching hire will reflect this commitment. Be assured, we have a stated goal of repeating at D-League Champions!

So that all of our fans can stay in the loop, below is the tentative timeline for hiring our next head coach:

September 23 - Final candidate list selected

September 27 - Telephone interviews completed

October 2- In-person interviews completed
