Referee sets a beautiful screen to help Rutgers score

Referee Jeffrey Anderson (aka “the high knees ref”) is going viral today after accidentally setting a beautiful screen to help Rutgers score a basket last night.

Anderson accidentally ended up between a primary defender and Rutgers guard Ace Bailey on a drive to the basket. Anderson ended up in perfect position to “screen” a secondary defender and allow Bailey to knock down a short jumper.

Rutgers went on to knock of No. 23 Illinois 82-73.
