Yes, Roebuck and his ways of giving some of the boys he was coaching, a 'Punishment' if they weren't achieving their potential, was rather strange. I remember Richards saying "Write anything about me and I will whack you..." to James Lawton after Richards antics of having all West Indies umpires in his pocket and getting them to change decisions when he came marching down the pitch with his hands on his hips, staring them out until they agreed with him. Like most narcissistic people, he was happy to get away with his behaviour but if anyone challenged it, he was an aggressive thug.
