Anderson, the Big East official, has earned the nickname "high knees" because of the way he sprints down the floor during games. An X parody account named after him has nearly 15,000 followers.
"I have a little back problem," Anderson told ESPN about his running style. "My chiropractor suggested that because of how my back was, I should [stand up straight] and bring my knees up as high as I possibly can to take pressure off my back."
Anderson's "high knees" popularity is an outlier, though, as reactions toward officials are often far from lighthearted.
