Will Shields is gone. Can't beat the arthritis.
You are correct, it would appear to the casual fan that Roaf has certainly earned special treatment. That doesn't change the fact that it can create problems when dealing with other athletes with huge egos who may want special treatment as well. It's easier for a coach to have one set of rules for all.
