We are in the middle of our physio instruction fix at the Winter Warmup and ITBs came up. Lots of people have tight ones. You are on the right track with the roller. Problem is that the ITB is fascia (white tissue) - not muscle. As a rule you cannot stretch fascia - it'll tear first - it doesn't have the spindle structure of muscle. Massage is your best approach.
