Even if it is common practice, are you saying you thought he was 5'3?
It actually is super common to list athletes as taller, even if they aren't short. Heck I'm 6'1 and I was listed at 6'2 in college, and this was baseball.
It's all a mental thing, trying to get in your opponents head before they even go up against you. Especially in college/high school athletics. At least in the big three sports.
