By featuring four college basketball coaching legends in a television commercial that parodies the most-famous scene from the film, Risky Business, the folks at Guitar Hero® proved they have a good sense of humor.

Airing moments after the my Oklahoma Sooners lost to North Carolina in the NCAA South Regional Championship Sunday afternoon, the spot doesn’t celebrate the fact that its’ stars — Mike Krzyzewski (Duke), Rick Pitino (Louisville), Roy Williams (North Carolina) and now-retired Bobby Knight — have a house to themselves while their parents are away.  In fact, I’m not sure there was a point to the ad — other than to cause an old basketball player like me to relax after watching his team lose a chance at the Final Four®.

What I do know, however, is that I loved the spot!
