In IL -- only the head coach can answer the "is everyone legally and properly equipped?" question.
If the head coach is available (read: on the floor), s/he must attend the meeting. If s/he refuses, write a report to the state.
If the head coach is not available (dealing with an injured player, caught in traffic, in the locker room, etc), have the meeting with the assistant, and then verify the equipment question with the HC before the game starts.
