THE COACHES
HEAD COACH
BRAD BJORKGREN The 2023-24 season will be Brad Bjorkgren’s ninth as the head men’s basketball coach at Simpson. In his first five years with the program, he helped the Storm post at least 13 wins in each year for the first time since 1994-99. An accomplished high school coach prior to Simpson, Bjorkgren was inducted into the Iowa High School Athletic Association’s Basketball Hall of Fame class of 2017 for his remarkable career at Urbandale High School. The Storm are 94-95 under Bjorkgren (pronounced Bee-york-gren). Simpson has landed a spot in the conference tournament six of the last eight seasons, including two-straight semifinal appearances between 2018-20. Since taking over, Bjorkgren’s squads have produced 20 all-conference honorees, including eight first team selections. Conor Riordan was named a 2020 Jostens Trophy finalist for program’s first since 2003 and was a two-time Academic All-America recipient for the Storm, just the second men’s basketball player to land on the team twice. At the end of his fourth year, Simpson had hosted a conference tournament game each season under Bjorkgren. He led the Storm to a 15-11 mark in 201516, a nine-game turnaround from the previous season. He tied the school record for wins by a first-year head coach and piloted the Storm to a second-place finish in the IIAC, the program’s best in 12 years. Bjorkgren’s up-tempo style produced a school-record 232 3-pointers in 2015-16 as Simpson led the IIAC in several categories, including steals, turnover margin and free throw percentage. Sam Amsbaugh earned Iowa Conference co-MVP honors in 2017-18.
18
Hired as the 23rd head coach in Simpson history on April 15, 2015, Bjorkgren came to Simpson following a 27-year stint as the head coach at Urbandale (Iowa) High School. He went 398-213 at Urbandale, winning nine Central Iowa Metropolitan League (CIML) Championships and appearing in seven Class 4A State Tournaments.

In 2013, he won the Iowa Basketball Coaches Association’s (IBCA) Don Logan Service Award for his ongoing commitment to the sport. He was the president of the IBCA from 2002-03 and has served on the executive board since 1998.
COACHING EXPERIENCE

EDUCATION
Bjorkgren graduated from Simpson in 1983 with degrees in business management and physical education.

Bjorkgren began his career at Urbandale in 1983, serving as assistant boys basketball coach for five seasons before taking over as head coach in 1988. During that time he also served as a business education instructor, computer applications instructor and School to Work Coordinator.

HISTORY & RECORDS
FACILITIES Steven Johnson Fitness Center The Steven Johnson Fitness Center opened to the Simpson community in January 2014, creating a first-class, comprehensive fitness complex located at the heart of campus. The $6 million project is highlighted by a two-tier workout facility consisting of a 5,500 square foot strength and conditioning center and a 4,500-square foot exercise and fitness center. The picturesque facility overlooks Buxton Stadium. In addition to the Fitness Center, the 2014 renovation included additional classroom and meeting space, administrative and academic suites, an expanded wrestling room, a cheer, dance and multipurpose room, a new Hall of Fame display, an exercise science and athletic training lab and a Swim Ex rehabilitation and therapy pool. Cowles Fieldhouse Opened in 1976, Cowles Fieldhouse is located inside of the Cowles Center, a multipurpose athletic and physical education facility. It has served as home to Simpson volleyball and basketball teams since the late 70s, with the basketball teams beginning competition in 1976 when it opened followed by volleyball in 1977. The Simpson gymnastics teams began competing in the fieldhouse in 2023. The fieldhouse seats 3,000 spectators and features a new HVAC system and hardwood floor installed in 2022 as well as a LED videoboard display introduced in 2013. In 2023, both the men’s and women’s locker rooms located south of the fieldhouse were renovated.
