I thought height did not matter in the game, only for training?

on DMI - does a high DMI mean that the player has received lots of training and is likely to pop, or that the player has already improved and is therefore unlikely to pop again?

Height does only matter for training, but his point still stands-his player got a poorer defender, and so he was able to dominate despite not being great.

To my knowledge, DMI gives a very rough idea of how good a player is, but it's not very accurate.It changes a LOT with game shape, so you shouldn't use it to rate a player. But, it helps with training, because Even if there is not a green arrow with the skill increase after training, training of the skill still occurs. You can see how this unseen training is happening by looking at how a player's DMI increases after the training update.

Then I realized the opponets power forward was 6'1.

Which means it's not very quick to train him further in inside skills. A player's height does not affect their performance in games.

there should be some way to see that he is a great INSIDE defender but a crap outside one. Then I could actually game plan.

You can evaluate the defensive contribution of a single player by looking at the team ratings, tactics, and the individual ratings. The player rating heavily depends on their defensive abilities/contribution. So, a guy who goes 1-10 and gets zero rebounds may have as high a rating as a guy who goes 7-10 and gets 3 rebounds with same minutes. This suggest he played better defence.

It's obviously not very simple, but you should get a good feel after a couple of games.

Well, enthusiasm level influence those ratings (it is the same for the whole team so no problem) but I believe game shape influences it too, so I wouldn't say looking at the rating in comparison to stats (and minutes) is a good way to guess defensive skills of a player. Looking at how his man was succesful in the game is a better way (matchup ratings included).

Yes, game shape needs to be considered as well.
