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.
