I'm 6' 5"/245lbs. I'm trying to get down to 235 and stay there. Back in 2006 I ballooned up to 280lbs in the off-season.

There is a referee in Northern VA who works some college ball who is 7'; and he's a chef. He and I have friends in common but I don't really know him personally. I'm sure grune, justacoach, and multisport could fill you in about him.

6'5. I do think that sometimes due to height I can get a look at something that maybe a shorter official doesn't get. Not that they can't get a look, it's just a different angle with the added height. Also I can cover a good deal of ground with a normal stride where sometimes a shorter official might have to jog.

I contend I'm more aerodynamic than the lot of you!
