College Basketball Coaches & Their Celebrity Lookalikes
-
Bo Ryan / The Grinch
Rumor has it that Wisconsin Coach Bo Ryan actually filled in as Jim Carrey's stunt double in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". Minimal makeup and prothetics required.
-
Kevin Stallings / Kevin from "The Office"
Vanderbilt Head Coach Kevin Stallings could easily be confused for Kevin from "The Office". They even have the same first name. Spooky!
-
Buzz Williams / Curly Howard "Three Stooges"
If coaching doesn't work out for Virginia Tech's Buzz Williams, he can always take to the stage as Curly Howard of "Three Stooges" fame. He already has the barking, slapping, and head conks down pat. The eye pokes are a work in progress.
-
Rick Pitino / Al Pacino
Louisville coach Rick Pitino bears a striking resemblance to Oscar winning actor Al Pacino. Anyone who has ever watched Pitino coach knows that he also has a flair for the dramatic.
-
Richard Pitino / Pee Wee Herman
Minnesota's Richard Pitino simply requires a grey suit and red bow tie in order to transform into Pee Wee Herman.
-
Tony Bennett / Seth MacFarlane
Virginia Coach Tony Bennett may have been separated at birth from funny man and "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane.
-
Mike Kryzewski / Duke's Blue Devil mascot
Little known fact: Mike Kryzewski doubles as the Duke Blue Devil mascot on game days. Coach K truly embodies everything that is Duke basketball.
-
Tom Crean / Tom Arnold
Indiana Coach Tom Crean shares a couple of things in common with actor and television personality Tom Arnold. They look alike, and they are both easily excitable. For Crean's sake, we hope it ends there.
-
Jim Ferry / Chris Penn
Duquesne Head Coach Jim Ferry bears an uncanny resemblance to the late great Chris Penn of "Reservoir Dogs" and "Footloose" fame.
-
Mark Few / Greg Germann
Gonzaga head man Mark Few could easily pass for "House of Lies" and "Ally McBeal" star Greg Germann.
-
Bob Huggins / Francis From Pee wee's Big Adventure
West Virginia Mountaineers Head Coach Bob Huggins has a doppelganger in Pee Wee Herman's arch-nemesis Francis Buxton. It would be interesting to see Huggins face off against Richard Pitino.
-
Mike Martin / Luke Wilson
Brown Head Coach Mike Martin has probably been confused for actor Luke Wilson on more than one occasion.
-
Sean Miller / Bobby Moynihan
If Saturday Night Live funny man Bobby Moynihan were to take over head coaching duties for Arizona's Sean Miller, you probably wouldn't even notice. Well, at least until the first time out is called to track down the hot dog guy in the stands.
-
Chris Mooney / Rick Astley
Richmond's Chris Mooney not only looks like 80's pop sensation Rick Astley, we also hear that he can belt out a pretty mean rendition of "Never Gonna Give You Up"
-
Brooks Thompson / Cousin Eddie
For those of you wondering what ever happened to Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) from the "Vacation" franchise; he is coaching basketball at UTSA under the name Brooks Thompson. Not really, but you can almost hear Thompson saying "You serious, Clark?" in this press conference photo.
-
Roy Williams / Huckleberry Hound
North Carolina Head Coach Roy Williams has plenty in common with his animated counterpart Huckleberry Hound. They look alike, they sound alike, and they both love Carolina blue.
-
Jay Wright / George Clooney
The always dapper Jay Wright probably isn't in a hurry to give up his coaching gig at Villanova, but he could easily work as a body double for actor, and brother from another mother, George Clooney.
