Follow on to Nestor's FS re: Jermey Lin

Today's NY Times relates that U.C.L.A. took a look at NBA sensation Jermey Lin.

Former assistant coach Kerry Keating spoke to Lin and took a pass on the kid. The Gray Lady reports:

I said, ‘We can’t give you a scholarship right away,’ " said Kerry Keating, a former U.C.L.A. assistant who spoke to Lin after watching him in a high school game. "I thought he could have played for us. He certainly could have made an impact for us, looking back on it. But at the time, you never really know. It’s an inexact science."

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

I dont think he would have been a good fit in Howlands program

He is however perfect for D’Antoni’s offensive scheme, which I would categorize as an anti Ben Howland system.

I assume many of you know the knicks run a wide open offense that thrives off of quick shots and fast breaks… Oh yeah minimal defense. Im not saying he could not play a Howland style game, but that I just do not think he would be flourishing in it the way he is with D’Antoni.

A bruin is good forever, a Trojan is only good... ahh eff it, just use tin foil

mmm...

I don’t know…I don’t think they run a D’Antoni style offense or defense at Harvard…

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
