But the head coach stopped short of that unusual measure as he prepares to face Newcastle’s giant striker Nick Woltemade.
Woltemade, 6ft 6ins, has scored in each of his last three games for Toon and opened his account for Germany this week.
Albion boss Hurzeler said: “I was searching for all two-metre-tall staff members, but I couldn’t find one. Actually, Harry Wood our kit man is about that!
“We couldn't really replicate Woltemade in training, but for sure there are some patterns from Newcastle that we have to take care of.”
Hurzeler and his staff are aware of the threat Woltemade poses
The Seagulls boss said: “I’ve known about him for a long time and my assistant coach Daniel Niedzkowski worked with him.
“I was really interested in his development because I think he is something special, how he plays despite his height.
“Of course he's very, very tall, but he still has an unbelievably good technical execution in tight spaces and how he uses his body in a very effective way.
“He’s impressive. And these are all things you need to have to survive in the Premier League.
“He has adapted to the intensity, to the demand of the Premier League. I can speak from my own experience, it's really tough also for our young players, for our new players coming from a different league.
“As a German I'm very pleased for him. Tomorrow though he can stop scoring and then afterwards I wish him well again!”
