The more direct analogy to the OP would be interviewing the crew chief while the race is going on, I suppose, and that happens pretty often.
This, to me, is the ultimate in TV insanity, interviewing a guy while he's whizzing along at 200 mph.
How about 55 mph? They do those interviews during caution laps.
They tried to do one at speed several years ago at Indy - I forgot which driver it was, but as they tried tyo aske him a question he cut them off with "I'm kinda busy right now."
As for the coaches -- Phil Jackson has the contract he has because of the TV money. Unless he wants to give back a couple of million a year, he can smile an do a quick interview.
