If the AC comes to the meeting and says, the HC is stuck in traffic or got stuck at work and is on his way - are you going to say he can't coach tonight? I'm not.

In this case - whack the guy for addressing the official in a disrespectful manner and move on.

Good evening, I'm Juulie and this is my partner DeeAnn. You are each the head coach of your team? Have you met already? (they shake hands and introduce themselves). We need each of you to keep the coaching box in mind, (pause for each coach to affirm) and to help your bench personnel stay within their legal rights (pause for each coach to affirm). Any questions about this floor or this gym? Now I need each of you to ascertain that your players are all legally equipped and will remain so throughout the game (pause for each coach to affirm) and that you are helping them maintain an attitude of fair play and healthy sportsmanship (pause for each coach to affirm). DeeAnn, do you have any thing to add?

Good luck to you both, have a great game!
