One of the most (if not the most) successful officials in my old association happened to also be the shortest.
He had great court presence, with the great ability to not go overboard in compensating for his lack of stature.
I think it's a lot of intangibles that are hard to lay out in a conversation. Rather, you've got to go find someone (like your buddy) who has that great court presence and just watch them game after game after game and watch those intangibles and try to incorporate them into your game while still allowing you to be you.
