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.
