I’m in the middle of watching North Carolina trounce Oklahoma in the NCAA tournament, when what do I see; Bob Knight, Mike Krzyzewski, Roy Williams and Rick Pitino in their skivvies promoting the next installment of the very popular video game “Guitar Hero”; a Pretty hilarious take on Tom Cruise’s infamous slide through the living room in his undies in the movie “Risky Business”.

For those of you who are not college basketball fans, let me explain to you just who these four men are. First, let me start with my favorite, Roy Williams of North Carolina. A well respected coach of some 20 years with the University of Kansas and now where my heart and hopes are the North Carolina Tar Heels; he also hails from my hometown and attended the same high school I did. Secondly, coach Mike Krzyzewski from Duke University; one of the best to ever step between the lines, leading Duke to numerous Final Fours and three national titles.

Next I’ve gotta go with Rick Pitino from the University of Louisville; Pitino also won a national championship with Kentucky and then spent a brief stint in the NBA with Boston. And last but certainly not least, showing of his 70 year old chicken legs, is the controversial coach Bob Knight formerly of Indiana University and Texas Tech.

I have to admit, I was pretty shocked to see these guys in a commercial like the one below. I won’t spoil it for you; you have to see it for yourself. All I can say is that Bob Knight is not the kind of guy who you normally see in spots like this one; as well as Williams and Krzyzewski, Pitino maybe; he’s always been a little bit more open than the other coaches.

Rounding out the star studded Guitar Hero commercial was Metallica. The Hard rock band that’s been around for more years than I care to count; great commercial, I only wish that I could be in these guys locker rooms to hear what their teams think about this very comical commercial.
