DES MOINES, IA (Jan. 31, 2013) - The Iowa Energy have named Bruce Wilson head coach for the remainder of the season. Wilson was named interim head coach on January 21st after former head coach Kevin Young's departure.

"I'm very thankful for the opportunity the Energy franchise has provided me," said Wilson. "I have been a part of some great teams, including our championship season here in Iowa, and I'm looking forward to getting back to the winning tradition that this organization is so well known for."

"Bruce has done a nice job with the transition, and he has earned this opportunity. In a short period of time, he has put his imprint on this team and the players are responding in a very positive manner," said Energy General Manager Chris Makris.
