One thing I thought I’d never see: Bob Knight in his underwear

by Alex Bozich in Media | March 30th, 2009

I’ve gotta hand it to the brass at Activision. They’ve consistently produced an all-star lineup for their Guitar Hero commercials. And their latest installment, which apparently debuted during this weekend’s NCAA Tournament, is no exception.

Prepare to witness Coach Knight, Rick Pitino, Roy Williams and Mike Krzyzewski put their spin on ‘Risky Business’. In their underwear.

It’s just a shame we didn’t get to see the drums make contact with Lars Ulrich. Long live Napster!

I would never ever purchase anything that Metallica has anything to do with. Coach Knight should have thrown the chair at them.

First time I saw this, as the coaches started sliding out one by one, I was thinking to myself, "too bad they couldn't get Bobby to appear in this"....but I assumed it was going to just be active coaches....when RMK slid out at the end it was priceless....great look on Roy William's face when Bobby slings the drums. I read that they shot all 4 coaches separately and edited them in....they did a great job.

That is one SWEET commercial

I wonder if RMK got paid as much for this commercial as he did to wear that red Converse sweater he had back in the day?

Wow, I guess retirement really is lightening up RMK.

For his next act of lightheartedness, Coach Knight will pet a cute kitten.....before throwing it across the room. It's okay though, cats always land on their feet.

Why not kick it up as notch and have Lou Carnesseca, Jud Heathcote and Lou Henson ( still alive ?? ) or Gene Keady instead of the active coaches ?

What a riot! I wonder what percentage of those watching this understand throwing the drums.

I'd love to know how much those guys got paid. Funny, but just rolled my eyes.
