Exactly. Because mechanically speaking there is really no reason to be close enough to a coach and/or facing a coach anyway during free throws for him to be able to make a running commentary, no matter system we are working.
We all know when we've made a call that might need a brief explanation. Report the foul, quickly tell the coach what you need to tell him, and then get to your spot. Whether you're working 2-man, 3-man, going opposite, or staying tableside.
In 2-man, I never get close enough for a coach to talk to me during free throws.
