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.

...

HC: "No, we are wearing our road uni's tonight but we cleared it with the other team."

In WI, we have a captains' meeting and then introduce ourselves to the coaches just prior to introductions.

What you're describing sounds like baseball in WI. The head coach has to attend the pregame conference.

Interesting to note that head coaches lose the coaching box if they don't attend the post-season seeding meeting. I think many teams felt their attendance wasn't important.
