Lou has talked about it before. It's a little A & B. There are minor adjustments that happen at halftime, but he has also explicitly commented how fast halftime is. It is just quick huddles and chats. He has also said that adjustments happen throughout the game and they are always tweaking things.
I personally think it is like this...
Are there halftime adjustments? Yes, probably. It may depend on the coach and specific player you ask, but something is getting adjusted and it is likely minor.
Are halftime adjustments what fans think they are? No, probably not. The "halftime adjustment" that we may credit as being that secret key may have happened with five minutes left to go in the second quarter, for instance.
