I guess a bullhorn would have been equally effective, but a neck speaker connected to a headset mike kept the coach's hands free. I imagine the appropriate volume set point was a topic of discussion in that team's pit.
She still uses it to this day. The difference is she is the drive coach standing right behind her drivers.. not connected to someone who is not behind the glass like the OP wanted to do.
