Must be the hip-hop version of you tube. ;)I know perfectly well why coaches hide their faces -same reason they use so many hand signals in baseball. As for the rest of it, I have no idea (nor do I know if they actually do hide their faces since I don’t watch those sports)
In the silent-movie era, towards the end, audiences got quite good at lipreading—-taking great delight in finding out the spoken dialog didn’t match the cards…
I remember decades ago when Randy Hundley was out of action on the Disabled List, the announcers at WGN-TV called him up & he was telling what the catcher was calling for live on TV from watching on the center field camera. That never happened again, as the Cub brass was not happy about it.

Every one of these jocks and coaches should be made to watch the “bad lip-reading” videos on Yo Tube.
