He also debunked notions that Patrick Beverley beat Jeremy Lin for the starting point guard job in Houston. He explained that Beverley was just a better fit with James Harden, who does not even try to play defense or get in position to.

Scheppler said that Houston coaches, including head coach Kevin McHale, wanted Jeremy to be their Manu Ginobili coming off the bench.

When Jeremy was traded to the Lakers, his situation did not improve any better because Byron Scott was an old-school coach whose offense does not put priority on three-point shooting, spacing, or pushing the ball in transition, which majority of NBA teams, including the Golden State Warriors do.

He disclosed that Scott even told Lin at one point to stop doing so much pick and roll and he really could not understand why the Lakers coach does not want to put players in position and have a better chance to score.

Scheppler knows his basketball, having been a very successful high school coach for 37 years with six state titles under his belt.

After what his ward has gone through all those years, Scheppler has all the reasons to be excited about the upcoming season for Jeremy Lin now that he is set start buzzing with the Charlotte Hornets.
