The other key will be ball movement on the perimeter and catching the ball ready to shot. Need Jenifer, Cumberland, Broome, Williams and even Moore ready to catch and shoot with no hesitation.

I agree with all of your points but I am not sure on #3. Yes it would be nice to make the floaters we shoot but I am not sure we want to attempt very many over the tallest man in NCAA. Your average floater will not work on him meaning you have to create a new floater for one game.
I would prefer pull up J's just outside his range (only when he is in). If we are going to go at him with floaters I would prefer to just go right at his body or use the rim as protection as you mention. He has negatively affected way too many floaters against us over time or even shorter pull up J's that we misjudged his range on.
We should have the mid range J all open night while Tacko is in. Either that or go right at him...stop trying to shoot over him at close range
