9:38pm, 30 September 2025【Basketball】
Multiple teams held a media day event today, and the pace of the new season is getting closer. After separating the players, US media FadeawayWorld also ranked the coaches of the 30 teams. Next, let’s take a look at this list. If you think that the coach is too high or too low, you can give your opinions in the comment section.
No. 30 Jordan Ultra (Suns)
The Suns ranked 11th in the Western Conference with 36 wins and 46 losses last season. They, who have the three giants KD, Booker and Bill, did not even make it into the playoffs, and Buden was dismissed. During the interview, the Suns discovered that Ultra's "frontier thinking" on the offensive end revealed the team's previous shortcomings in basketball operations. But he lacks head coaching experience and is currently at the bottom. Although his job as an assistant coach is highly respected, he has not proven that he can control rotations, deal with team egos, and critical playoff moments.
29th Isalo (Grizzlies)
Jenkins suddenly dismissed in March this year, and the Grizzlies officially hired Tuomas Isalo as the team's next head coach in May. Isalo has entered the NBA from Europe and is known for his innovative offensive system and development strategies in Europa. The Grizzlies hired him as a bold move, showing that they are willing to break the rules. However, due to his lack of experience as an NBA head coach, he faces difficult challenges in adapting to the league.
No. 28 Keeff (Wizards)
Keff is shouldering one of the most difficult tasks in the league - coaching the Wizards, which has been in the reconstruction stage for many years and cannot extricate himself. Keefe is known for his player development experience and will shoulder the responsibility of promoting the growth of the team and building the team culture rather than pursuing immediate victory. There are many young talents in the Wizards. How to get players such as Whitmore, Saar, and Kulibaly to exchange their talents is a difficult problem that Keef needs to think about.
27 Christie (Kings)
Christie has a deep connection with the Sacramento Kings and served as head coach for the first time last season and faces the challenge of how to quickly prove himself. Despite his highly respected basketball IQ and leadership skills, he still lacks experience compared to most of his peers. The Kings ranked ninth in the West last season and failed to pass the playoffs.
No. 26 Rajakovic (Raptors)
Jackovic performed well in the early stages of Toronto, focusing on player growth and the construction of a defensive system. However, the Raptors' reconstruction and unstable roster limited his play. Dako repeatedly expressed his feelings in the press conference, which became a major issue that restricted him from displaying his talents. Ingram is here to make a comeback in the new season, hoping that he can play a dazzling performance under Dako's account.
No. 25 Charles Lee (Hornets)
Charles Lee has long been regarded as one of the top assistant coaches in the league, and now he has finally ushered in his own opportunity in Charlotte. His defensive system and communication skills are highly praised, and now he will shoulder the responsibility of reshaping the Hornets who are eager to be stable. His success depends on building the team around LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller while developing the team's sense of responsibility. Last season, the Hornets ranked second from the bottom in the Eastern Conference.
24th David Adelman (Nuggets)
As a long-term chief assistant coach under Michael Malone, David Adelman had the advantage of continuity when he was the head coach for the first time, and led the Nuggets into the second round last season, and lost to the championship Thunder in seven games. Adelman inherits a championship core, but the pressure he faces will be huge to maintain Denver's level.
No. 23, Halli Fernandez (Nets)
Fernandez joined Brooklyn as an assistant coach, bringing fresh vitality and professional knowledge in player development to the team. He shoulders the heavy responsibility of stabilizing the team's lineup. Next season he needs to prove that he is both a master of tactics and a mentor who can motivate his players. However, the Nets currently lack the cornerstone players, which also tests Holdi's exploration ability and tactical arrangement.
22nd Mickey Johnsons (Spurs)
It is not easy to replace Greg Popovich, but Mickey Johnson has been deeply involved in the Spurs system for many years. His current challenge is to guide the development of top talented players such as Vinban Yama and Dylan Harper, while maintaining San Antonio's disciplined team culture.
No. 21 Willie Green (Pelicans)
Willie Green initially won support from the locker room with strong communication skills and leadership, but with the Pelicans last season, he failed to effectively deal with injuries and uncertain roster issues. His focus on defense should bring more stability to the Pelicans, but whether he can lead the team to the next level remains a question.
20th Billups (Trail Blazers)
Billups faces a difficult task in leading the rebuilding Trail Blazers roster, but he has made great achievements in coaching young players, and Kamara, Sharp and Scud Henderson are increasingly active on the defensive end. After Lillard returns in the new season, he will surely provide help to Billups on the bench and locker room. How to use and train Yang Hansen is also a test question before Billups.
No. 19 Doug Rivers (Bucks)
Doug Rivers was a championship coach with decades of experience, but his poor performance in the playoffs in recent years has left him at a low level on this list. He is known for building trust and managing stars, but his tactical rigidity has been repeatedly exposed in the playoffs, preventing him from reaching the top roster. With Lillard's serious injury reimbursed last season, Rivers was unable to let Antetokounmpo's single-core Bucks go further. In the first round of the playoffs, they lost 1-4 to the Pacers..
No. 18 Mike Brown (Knicks)
Mike Brown's defensive reputation remains good. He was hired to revive the Knicks, emphasizing the team's resilience and responsibility, while using substitutes more than Thibodeau. However, his offensive system is often criticized as rigid, and the Knicks need to go further in this regard if they want to stand out from the Eastern Conference. Last season, the Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals and lost to the Pacers 2-4.
No. 17 Billy Donovan (Bulls)
Donovan's Bulls have been having difficulty building true competitiveness. With his excellent adaptability and "player first" style, he has coached some teams with great strength before. However, the lack of significant progress in Chicago compared to his peak at Oklahoma City has caused his reputation to decline.
No. 16 Will Hardy (Jazz)
As one of the youngest head coaches in the NBA, Will Hardy performed well, and his calmness and communication skills quickly won praise. Hardy's potential has allowed him to be at the middle level and have room for upward. Unfortunately, the Jazz's current lineup may be difficult for Hardy to truly show off.
No. 15 Snyder (Hawks)
Quin Snyder is highly regarded for his tactical acumen, and his mission is to bring stability and discipline to the Hawks who have high expectations. His offensive system emphasizes speed, space and organizational offense, which is very suitable for star Trae Young. With the rise of Jaylen Johnson and Dyson Daniels, Snyder is expected to improve the Hawks' defensive strength, and the team's performance is also expected to be higher.
14th Redick (Lakes)
Redick's second season as head coach attracted both attention and attention because he had huge expectations when coaching the Lakers. Last season, he showed his talent in coaching under the pressure of "James' friend", but also contributed to the "famous scene" of not replacing people in the second half. In the new season, the Lakers have strengthened players such as Ayton and the slimming version of Doncic, and look forward to the Purple and Gold Legion being able to perform better.
No. 13 Mosley (Magic)
Mosley quietly built one of the most disciplined young teams in the NBA. He focused on defense, responsibility and growth, trained Paul Benkairo and Franz Wagner as the cornerstone of the team, and also made the Orlando Magic a rising threat to the East. The Magic ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference last season, and they lost to the Celtics 1-4 in the first round of the playoffs.
No. 12 Nas (76ers)
Nas remains one of the smartest tactical coaches in the league, known for his creativity on both ends of the offense and defense. From bad defense to unique squad combinations, he was never afraid to try. Although it seems difficult for Embiid, George and Maxi to be present at the same time, Nass's championship experience and adventurous spirit make him highly respected among his peers. If Nurse's players can recover, the Sixers could be a threat. However, this is just "if".
No. 11 Bickstaff (Pistol)
Bickstaff stabilized the situation in Cleveland during his previous term and is now facing new challenges in Detroit. Under his rule, Cunningham made great progress. Last season, the Pistons also caused enough trouble for the Knicks in the playoffs. They lost 2-4 in the first round in 6 games.
No. 10th Finch (Timberwolves)
Finch stabilized the Timberwolves' long-term ups and downs. He allowed Edwards to maximize his talent on the offensive end, making him gradually join the ranks of superstars. On the defensive end, he let Gobert and Randall perform their duties, and the long lineup also gave the opponents a headache.
9 Mazula (Celtic)
Although Mazula is young, he has led the Celtics to the championship stage. Under his leadership, the Celtics gradually became magical on the offensive end and were also disciplined on the defensive end. Tatum's injury recovery was much faster than expected, which also prevented Mazula's troops from being stretched.
8th Kidd (Mavericks)
Kidd's coaching career has always been controversial (such as the famous "hitme" sprinkler incident), but his successful experience of leading Doncic and Irving to the playoffs in succession and entering the NBA Finals in 2024 cannot be ignored. There is supernova Flag in his lineup in the new season, and his strength on paper cannot be underestimated, it depends on how Kidd sets up his lineup.
7th Atkinson (Cavs)
Last season, Atkinson led the Cavaliers to finish the regular season as the number one in the East. He helped the team establish a balanced lineup on both offense and defense, and thus won the Best Coach Award for the Season. Since his time in Brooklyn, he has coached as a development player expert. Atkinson is expected to lead this talented team to go further in the playoffs in the new season.
No. 6, Dignot (Thunder)
Dignot's rapid rise is exactly the same as the Thunder's own growth. With his outstanding player development skills and offensive creativity, he has created a lineup that can not only inspire SGA influence but also can infinitely bite opponents on the defensive end. Dagnott was able to maximize the potential of young players and quickly led Oklahoma City to the championship, which put him in the elite.
5th Tyron Lu (Clippers)
Lu is considered one of the best on-field dispatchers in the league, famous for making bold tactical decisions at high pressure moments. He has the ability to flexibly adjust his lineup, take advantage of the matchup opportunities, and constantly innovate in a high-intensity environment of the playoffs, which set him apart. Although the Clippers have been suffering from injuries, Lu always maintains the team's competitiveness. Last season, with the help of Van Gundy Jr., the Clippers led by Lu rose to a level on the defensive end, and still went straight to the playoffs with the fifth place in the West despite Leonard being absent for a long time and Harden leading the team alone..
4th Uduka (Rockets)
Although Uduka's style is a bit rough, he still transformed the Rockets from a reconstruction team into a team with hopes of winning the championship. His strict style and defensive principles have allowed this young team to transform rapidly, and the "Gate God Combination" is his masterpiece. Now that Durant has come to Houston, and with young talents such as Shin Kyung and Amen, Uduka seems to have only one goal in the new season.
3 Cole (Warriors)
Cole has led the team to win the championship four times and is famous for creating the most selfless and most focused on ball transfer system in the history of the league. Although the Warriors dynasty gradually collapsed as core players such as Curry and Dream-Chasing grow older, Cole's leadership and player management skills have always ranked among the league's elite coaches. The only reason he failed to top the list is the way he handled the Kumingga incident and his unsatisfactory performance in overcoming some tough seasons.
2nd Carlisle (Pacers)
Carisle is known for his meticulous preparation and offensive creativity. After leading the team to the finals last season, he made the Pacers a strong contender in the Eastern Conference.
Carlisle inspired Halliburton to the greatest extent, and his system has become one of the most dynamic systems in basketball. The yellow whirlwind allows us to vaguely see the shadow of running and bombing the sun. Carlisle's championship bloodline and adaptability bring him close to the top level.
Spoelstra (Heat)
Spoelstra remains the gold standard for NBA coaches, integrating tactical wisdom with unparalleled adaptability. The Heat culture he created is legendary. No matter how strong the star is or how serious the injury problem is, he can maximize the potential of the player.
Whether during the Big Three or Butler's single-core leadership, Spoel was able to lead the team to the finals, proving that he can develop in line with the trend of the league. Although there was an embarrassing scene of the superior entering the game last season, he still led the Heat to win consecutive draws in the playoffs as the No. 10 seed and eventually made it to the playoffs.
