Roy, Coach K take a turn as 'Guitar Heroes'
Posted Mar 31, 2009
It's pretty safe to assume that Roy Williams doesn't have Metallica's "Kill 'em All" album on his iPod and that 5-foot-7 drummer Lars Ulrich and his bandmates don't throw down monster jams -- the basketball kind -- between tour dates. So the sight of Williams, Mike Krzyzewski, Rick Pitino and Bob Knight mingling with the metal band in a commercial for the video game "Guitar Hero: Metallica" qualifies as a culture clash, to say the least.
