I am not sure shouting at players is an european coaching style these days, in any sport. As far as I have seen, it seems to me shouting is more of a slavic and american style. The best head-coaches in Europe, no matter which sport, seem to have good people skills and able to delegate tasks to specialist coaches in the team. Just look at the time-out situations in basketball, icehockey, football, rugby, volleyball -> it is the assistant coaches talking about the tactics, drawing up the plans, and usually the head-coach just overwatch the situation.
Which countries and leagues do you mean though? It's definitely not the case in the ACB. I honestly haven't seen an assistant coach take over a multiple timeouts in an ACB game.
This would be a typical Real Madrid timeout. Luka responds accordingly. Also note that in Europe a lot of coaches just do timeouts in the domestic language while the American players don't understand a word. Sometimes the assistant coaches will translate, but that's not always the case. Translation would actually be one of the special tasks delegated to them tbh.
But, yea, I do agree that the Slavic coaches take it to a whole notha level. I can remember when I playing in Germany for a Slavic coach and my man scored a couple of buckets on me. The coach took a timeout and told me that it would be better for me to get naked so that the scorer could penetrate me more smoothly since he was essentially already f****** me.
