I have heard of it as an issue for people in the Womens game, they sometimes tell taller officials not to extend their arms fully when calling fouls so as not to appear intimidating to the players. While noone has ever come right out and said it - I have seen larger officials be directed toward the mens side and away from the women.

More often I have heard it with smaller officials on how to get a better presence on the floor, by getting the hand up in the air standing straighter, deeper voice etc.
