Bad Zebra We've got one official who is 6'5" and one who is about 5'2". I've worked with both of them three times this season already. I swear my assigner is doing it on purpose because it looks so funny. (I'm 6') When we stand together at mid-court during pre-game, we look like that AT&T commercial "More Bars in More Places"

Ref_in_Alberta We've got a guy in our area who are 6'8" or taller. The best thing about working with him is he is a police officer; we generally don't have problems in our games together...
bigbeardedbryan A member of our HS chapter is at least 6'10" (a head taller than myself at 6'3") and a spitting image of the brother on Everybody Loves Raymond. He doesn't get a whole lot of grief either.
agr8zebra Yes, you bigger, taller zebras seem to have it a little easier than most. Me being 5'10" on a good day, those like me have to work a little harder to establish authority and control which sometimes comes easier with size. Does size matter?
M&M Guy Snaqwells wroteI have a buddy who is 6'10" and a prison guard. I'm trying to talk him into reffing. So, um...how do you know prison guards?

Raymond agr8zebra wroteI bet you tall guys say? "I can dunk better than that kid." No, but when I ref adult rec leagues, especially over-40, I say to myself "I can play better than this mess".

riverfalls57 Had a former college player as a partner twice who is 6'8", I'm 6'5", we didn't have too many problms.
mbyron I had two partners over the weekend who were giants: one was 6' 7" and the other 6' 8". I felt like a midget, and I was at least 3 inches taller than any of the players!
Stripes33 I'm 6'8 and I've never worked with anyone taller than myself. I have worked with a couple of women before that were barely 5' tall. The crowd got a good laugh out of it.
