Allthough I like to think my height gives me a better angle and overview, I never saw any top-level officials that really were above average height (allthough I noticed one NBA ref during all-star weekend that seemed pretty tall). Well I guess, someone has to be the first 2m10 official
(For your reference: that's 6'10.5" w/o shoes).

If it was a tall, white guy, it was probably Ed Malloy.

There is also a guy by the name of Kevin Cutler, who stands about 6'9 or so. If you are a good official I think the height only adds to that.

Yep, I think Ed is around 6'9". Saw him at an NBDL game several years ago.
