I believe its time for the B10 to reign him in. Besides being a terrible ref, his "watch me", "see me" self promoting clown act has become an embarrassment to the league. Its now escalated to him interfering with the players on the court as illustrated by him getting in the way of Ace during a critical scoring play. He needs to be reminded that the fans don't come to games to watch the referees.

I don't really pay much attention to specific refs, but do you really think he purposely got in the way of Ace's drive to the basket? He just got caught getting out of the way as Ace barreled his way down the court on a (really) fast break.

College basketball referees are not attached to a conference.

Need to reach out to Terry Wymer at the Big Ten and tell him to stop assigning High Knees to Big Ten games.

The best was the Illinois defender's reaction to the play in the longer video saying "WTF?".

It doesn't bother me that much and I'm all for making the game entertaining. But I agree this guy should reign it in. He has a twitter handle "HighKneesRef" or something like that. That is a sign that he is trying to promote himself.

No reason he should have been in that location on the court. Fortunate that none of the 3 players involved didn't get hurt because of him!

Guys the “high knees” twitter account is not him. It’s a fan account.

He’s officiated 7 straight final fours so the NCAA thinks he calls games the right way.

High Knees trains other referees. A High Knees refereeing tree exists and is growing.

Last season, HK refereed 9 games in 9 days traveling 10,000 miles in the process.

His slogan is “Get your highknees into my training program.”

The ref shouldn't have been that close to the play. He became a part of it because he was between Ace and the defender. He got pushed into Ace by Humrichous and he then elbowed Johnson on purpose LOL.

I think he just threw Collins out of the NU- UW game - T’d him up and then gave him a quick heave ho shortly afterwards

Chris Collins not a fan either

Was barking at him on and off most of the first half and just got tossed after getting right in Anderson's face

4 FTs and the ball - killer. I would love to be in that NU locker room right now
