Can't say much on Jeremy Lin, but Trent Johnson's handling of the point guard situation was monumentally incompetent and cost us a conference championship at the very least, if not a Final Four or Elite Eight appearance. If Jeremy Lin isn't athletic enough, how the hell is Drew Shiller athletic enough?
