NBA: Top 5 coaches to look out for in 2013-2014

Players, whether perennial superstars or rookies, get their share of attention when it comes to their talent and skill being appreciated. What about the head coach and coaching staff?

The hard work they put in is equally vital to the team’s success and, more often than not, they play a role in player’s development into a superstar.

Here’s a list of the Top five head coaches who are relatively new to the post and are looking forward to making a mark on the NBA:

Jason Kidd, Brooklyn Nets

Jason Kidd of Brooklyn Nets

A future Hall of Famer joined and took up the job of head coach with the Nets just nine days after he announced his retirement as a player from the league. Reports stated that he had filed for a minority stake in the team which was pending NBA approval.

There was a deeper connection that Kidd shared with the Nets organization that prompted him to take up this job so early into his retirement. He and Nets had dream seasons in 2002 and 2003, when they made it to the finals, losing both times, after he had arrived to New Jersey just a year earlier from the Phoenix Suns.

What’s his style of coaching? Well, everybody is looking forward to that being answered this season with the Nets star studded roster. Though his coaching skills are yet to be discovered, in his final years as a veteran, he was considered a great motivator and supporter to the youngsters in the team.

He would definitely be the most watched head coach this season.
