The coaches need to understand that they have to communicate their request from within the confines of the coaching box. Perhaps they could learn to have their players echo the request.

Perhaps my problem is I've never actually seen a coach come onto the court so far. Here, they just get louder, or closer along the sideline, to get me to hear them.

Amen to getting the players to echo, that stopped when they got the ability to request it themselves.
