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

Tyrone Corbin, Utah Jazz

Tyrone Corbin of Utah Jazz

On Jerry Sloan’s retirement, he was decided by the front office of the Jazz most suited to take the responsibilities of head coach after being an assistant to Sloan for seven years. Just like any new head coach, he took over the mantle when the Jazz were in rough times, mid-way through the lockout shortened season, and undergoing restructuring following All-Star point guard Deron Williams trade.

With Millsap and Al Jefferson both being traded to the Hawks and Bobcats, respectively, Corbin would have to use his intellect from his years under Sloan and rise to the challenge to bring glory days back to Utah.

Expecting to make a playoff position would be too much for the team, then again, Corbin can instill motivate the team with these doubts in the league to step up their game. He, on the other hand, would look at this season as an opportunity to prove himself as a head coach after being under the wings of Sloan for seven years.
