Peter Diepenbrock Lin's Palo Alto coach talks about how Lin was key to winning state title his senior year.
"It was uncanny," Diepenbrock said. "You could bank on him every time."
*In Santa Cruz Dad's Tournament semifinals..."We're down a bucket in the final minute of overtime. Jeremy hits a 25-footer. We win (57-55)."
* In consolation title game of Mission Prep Classic against Bakersfield - "We're down three with five seconds left. (Lin) catches inbounds pass, penetrates, kicks and Steven Brown drills a 3-pointer at the buzzer. We win 80-74"
* In semifinals of St. Francis Tournament against San Ramon Valley - "We're up two, their stud (Brandon Adams) gets the ball underneath in the final seconds. Jeremy rips the ball out of his hands, gets fouled, hits free throw. We win (54-51)."
In NorCal semifinals at home against Laguna Creek - "We're tied with 50 seconds to go, (Lin) buries a 3-pointer from the wing. After a stop, he penetrates, feeds Brown who ices the win (52-46)."
* In NorCal finals against Mitty at Arco Arena - down one with 24.1 seconds to play, Lin draws two defenders and finds Brad Lehman, who drills 3-pointer from the corner. Palo Alto 45, Mitty 43. "(Lin) makes it look easy."
* In state title game - "We're up two in final 30 seconds. (Lin) decides to drive to the basket. He takes on their star (Taylor King) goes over him and makes a layup to ice it."
