Tubby Smith falls off a motorcycle during Midnight Madness intro (VIDEO)

Texas Tech head coach Tubby Smith looked ready to rumble when he was introduced during Friday night's Midnight Madness event straddling a mean-looking motorcycle.

Too bad the Red Raiders coach was probably more prepared to tumble.

Dressed like Shaft from the old movie franchise, Smith rode onto the court atop the hog with Isaac Hayes' iconic theme song playing in the background. 

Then, at the end of the little putt across the court, coach toppled off his ride:

Thankfully, Smith wasn't hurt.

Dressed as Shaft, Tubby Smith drives a motorcycle on to the court. Crashes it. Then asked if he scratched the court. Awesome.

Although you have to admire Tubby's style, the first thing a real biker would ask is "how's the bike?"

Mark Gottfried jumped out of an airplane for NC State's Midnight Madness (VIDEO)

You could say Mark Gottfried went to the extreme to make it to Primetime With the Pack: Operation Our State on Friday night.

To get to the 2013-14 men's basketball team's showcase, the N.C. State head coach (in full fatigues) parachuted out of a plane, then took quick flight in a chopper, before cruising over to the arena in a Humvee for the Wolfpack's pre-season festivities.

In terms of entrances, you can't set the bar higher than this —literally.

Among the other highlights were a tribute to the U.S. Military, a 20-minute split-squad scrimmage and a 3-point shooting contest pairing each N.C. State player with a member of the Fort Bragg military basketball team.

"We have great fans, and it's so fun for our guys," Gottfried said. "I like the fact that our young guys are trying to learn. They're doing things that I like. Overall, it was a good night, a fun night and we're going to get back at it early in the morning."

The days of a coach firing up the crowd by doing an awkward dance with the mascot are officially over.
