In real life you would normally want a taller post player and shorter back court players. Does the sim take the height/weight of the player into account when determining the outcome of a match up?

No. 

It's been explained, for instance,  that players who are really good at LP will be taller on average, but basically - height/weight doesn't matter when game planning.

I am told some folks have noticed weight changes (and maybe height) from season to season but I've never tracked it.

the only coaches that say size doesn't matter have small players.

I recruit players for their girth.

The effect of player height is incorporated into the ratings that you see for each player. The ratings are the only things that matter for in-game performance. Height & weight are both just window dressing although it would be nice to see a 1 WE player chunk-out during the offseason and return 15 pounds heavier...

It's not the size, it's the motion in the offense that matters.
