NBA : 5 underrated coaches this season

Scott Brooks - Washington Wizards

Scott Brooks has developed efficient squad rotations following the injury to John Wall

The Washington Wizards are currently playing the most team-oriented basketball that we've seen from any team this entire season. As Bradley Beal put it, everybody eats in the new offensive scheme that Scott Brooks had the necessity to put together, following John Wall's extended absence due to knee surgery.

While necessity has forever been the mother of invention, that should never take credit away from the inventor who went ahead and did the needful. Scott Brooks has, for long, been a much-maligned coach - a notion that stems from the fact that he wasn't able to lead the duo of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant to The Promised Land that is an NBA title.

Slotting in Tomas Satoransky at the starting point guard role has paid dividends as the two-way play of the 6'7" guard allows the Wizards the luxury of fielding a veritable death lineup of Satoransky, Beal, Otto Porter, Kelly Oubre, and Markieff Morris when they go in search of buckets. Since 1 February, the Wizards have an offensive rating of 109.4 - 2 points better than their season average and 3.1 points better than their rating before that.
