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?

I'm 6'6....not too many people are taller than me

I have a buddy who is 6'10" and a prison guard. I'm trying to talk him into reffing.

I worked with a former all Big 10 Power Forward from tOSU. He was 6' 10" I think.

It's good to see, even the midst of "change", that some things still remain the same. :D

No, but when I ref adult rec leagues, especially over-40, I say to myself "I can play better than this mess".

More likely: I USED to be able to dunk better than that kid ...

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 Tue Jan 20, 2009 07:26pm

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!
