It's just because of the constant activity. Coaches have five guys on the floor apiece all moving around and doing something so they're naturally going to be louder and more active. In baseball/softball, usually it's just one or two players a side doing anything at a given moment and there are way fewer moving parts, ergo, less for a coach to have to talk about.
