My partners really get a kick out of how quick coaches take another chill-pill.
I know what you mean, I'm 6'5". However, my lovely wife is 5' even and she knows how to work the heigth difference to her distinct advantage. About 3 years ago, I worked with a female partner that was 6'6". We were doing a JV girls game and it was so funny to see their jaws drop when we came out for pre-game. One of them asked me a question during the game and I told her she had to ask the tall one because short officials weren't allowed to speak.
