Jeremy Lin – Brooklyn’s New Head Coach

Jeremy Lin has been out with a hamstring injury for a while now, but he still has found a way to help his team; he became part of the coaching staff. If you watched some of the most recent Nets games, you could have seen Jeremy Lin sitting on the bench, holding a clipboard and writing on it. What he is writing down though, aren’t your regular ordinary stats, but a Jeremy Lin self-styled version of offensive efficiency statistics, at least according to head coach Kenny Atkinson who told the New York Times:

 

“Linology! It’s beautiful. It’s his way of showing he cares. He asked me if he could do it, and I said, ‘Yeah, sure.’ And he just does it, and he hands it to me after every game, and then I hand it to — you know, I’m not exactly sure where it goes.”

Seems like going to Harvard pays out even more now. All kidding aside, the Nets would much rather have Lin back on the court. He is training with the team, and it won’t be for too long until he will be back on NBA hardwood.
