Not really any typical shots at Roberson but he made a point to complement nearly ever other players and made it plain and clear that he had no faith in Roberson making those two free throws and went as far to say that the wrong player made the rebound.Did he take yet another dig at Roberson?

I think it's a ridiculous thing to say. You can't have a wrong player get a rebound, beggars can't be choosers. Roberson was playing to win and shouldn't be shamed for it.
wasn't roberson 2-2 at the ft line last game ?
Robey was never a good free throw shooter but he wasn't awful either. This year he can't make anything. Very strange to see a guy decline so much. He just has been crushed by JB this year. It's sad to see and not a good look for JB.Yeah, he had missed his last 10 prior to that.
These writers are such cowards. They're afraid to ask any tough questions. All they ask is mundane stuff. What did you think of the effort? No strategy questions at all. What's the thinking on some of these key possessions? Why is defensive rebounding so poor giving teams 2-3 shots regularly? I realize these guys are afraid of getting yelled at and blacklisted from asking questions in the future.
I agree, they almost never ask about specific plays or strategy. An easy one (I don't have the stat sheet right now, so I'm making up these stats): "Coach, Taurean scored 8 (?) quick points in the second half. After he got his 4th foul, he didn't get back in until Roberson's second FT at the end of OT. Why did he ride the bench down the stretch?"

That was in my article I wrote this week. Roberson's FT shooting has eroded something like this: 68%, then 64%, then 54%. This year, he's under 50%. It's close to that. That was off the top of my head.
Pretty sure he was pulled because his defense was awful as usual.
Completely agree about the questions though. They are so timid.
His shot has gotten more robotic and strange every year he's been here. It's like we're coaching him down, or someone takes him each summer and unteaches him how to shoot normal.
So he comes out of High School a much better free throw shooter than leaving Syracuse. I think Boeheim just does not care about free throw shooting other than ripping players after a game because of it.That was in my article I wrote this week.

TT had 1 rebound in 18 minutes. That I suspect is why he got yanked. He wasn't banging for rebounds. But the offense is so much better with him in.
