I had the same thing happen to me in Baseball. Being 6'4" I have not worked hoops with a person greatly smaller or bigger, but one day I was working HS ball with a guy who also worked D1 Baseball, at 5'4" or 5'3".

We had to talk between innings, and we stood next to each talking, standing ramrod straight, arms at our sides looking out to the mound. Well, the local paper took a picture of us talking together, it made the front page of the local paper and the year-end sports section they put together. I also heard it won some kind of state award for the photographer.

It was sure shocking to wake up the next morning, get your copy of the local paper, and see you and your young "clone" on the front page, from the rear of course!
