I have read that as well. Although I'm not sure it was spontaneous genius so much as the product of having already done multiple takes of Bo knows hockey which they weren't satisfied with, and being unable to get the words out again. Notice how he hesitates a little trying to speak before he says No. But obviously they recognized the brilliance (amazingly, there are idiots who have called it racist) and went with it. It's also great how before delivering the punch line, Diddely stares at him with mock disgust for a second or two.
