More dribble-drives for Roberson, coupled with a green-light to take that elbow jumper (not with 25 on the shot clock or anything like that, but decisively if he's unguarded mid/late in a possession). More touches for him in the high post when Lydon's in the game; spread the floor, run cutters off screens. Frankly (get it? FRANKly), more Howard - he's the only guard who creates shot opportunities for his teammates.

It's tough to infer things like motivation. I'm not saying you're definitely wrong on that count, but none of us can be sure that we're right, either. (Though Roberson sure doesn't [U]look[/U] confident, which makes Boeheim's comments look even more counterproductive.)

Regarding the rebounding, Boeheim got the guards to do a much better job on the defensive glass when he returned. That went missing right around the time Roberson started to get more attention a couple weeks ago, which doesn't quite make sense: if one opponent is keying on Roberson's body and effectively giving up as a rebounder, we should have an advantage. Gotta capitalize on that; it's not like we've got a transition game. Dump the guards into the lane and prioritize rebounding.
