I suspect they tell them they'll be on TV so the coaches go into obvious vanilla mode. After the cameras leave Sloan turns to Milsap and says, "The next time Kobe comes into the lane, nail him right in the gonads." As for Jackson, I suspect he turns and says, "I mean it, we really need to tighten up on defense."
That is what they air. Short and sweet.

I'd rather they show us what Sloan said the rest of half time, even if it's with the censoring beeps, though it would sound more like a test by the Emergency Broadcast System.
