Tallest Partner

[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.

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 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.

[budjones05]

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

[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.

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!

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.

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!

There used to be a lady who worked the women's side of my JuCo conference who was 6' 7".

well i reffed with this guy a couple times and let me tell you -- the ball getting stuck between the rim and backboard is not an issue in those games.
