"I think this team is going to surprise everyone, I know it is not easy. But in high school they called my son 'Mr. Improbable.'" Gie-Ming Lin e-mail to Amaker
"There are a lot of teams that come through here... I can't think of a team that he wouldn't play for." - Connecticut Head Coach Jim Calhoun
“Jeremy is a player who can play at any level of college basketball,” says Amaker, who has coached two All-American guards (Andre Barrett and Shaheen Holloway) at Seton Hall. “The youngsters that I’ve had a chance to coach, there is no one I would rank higher than Jeremy Lin.”
“That’s a tribute to him playing hard and making a name for himself. He’s going to be a good one. I told him I really think he can play in this league. I told him that before we even came down to Vegas. He has a chance. It looks and feels like he belongs in the NBA, even though he hasn’t been drafted. “He has heart. He has no fear with himself. He sees opportunity and you can see that and that’s how he’s been playing. People are starting to believe this Harvard guy . . . this Ivy League guy is starting to make something happen.’’ - Darrell Armstrong - former NBA player, current Mavs assistant coach
