SUWANEE, GA - October 23, 2006 - The Atlanta Vision, Atlanta's professional basketball team in Gwinnett County, has announced the hiring of Bruce Kreutzer as their head coach for the 2006-07 season. Kreutzer will serve as the Vision coach while also continuing in his current role at Suwanee Sports Academy, the home of the Atlanta Vision, as an instructor in the nationally-recognized On Court Player Development program.

"Bruce brings an impressive coaching background to our team and his focus of fundamental skill development as an On Court instructor will be key to our team's success," commented Vision owner Quentin Townsend. "We are excited about the upcoming season with Bruce at the helm."
