Iowa Energy
The Iowa Energy are a team of the NBA Development League. They play their home games at the Wells Fargo Arena at Iowa Events Center.
Former Brighton Bears coach Nick Nurse is the team's head coach.
History
The team initially held a "Name the Team" contest, where the choices were Corncobs, Maize, River Rats, Scarecrows, and Thoroughbreds.[1] However, the team later announced that, because of general fan dislike, none of these names would be the team name. The team name, Iowa Energy, and the logo were announced on June 29, 2007.
On November 23, they won their first-ever game, a 101-99 win at Dakota. They defeated Albuquerque, 101-98, in their inaugural home game in front of a league-record 8,842 fans.
For their second season, they dropped the Miami Heat as their affiliate, replacing them with the Phoenix Suns.
The 2009-10 squad set a new league record with 37 regular season victories.
