As far as I know, there are no punishments for a coach who sends an assistant. We just grab the HCs and have our little pow wow and move on. I've never had a coach not want to come, it's just expected.

The head coach is required to attend the pregame meeting with captains in Iowa now. The varsity coaches all know and understand this so I've never not had one of them come out for it. Lower level coaches aren't always aware of the requirement. I think the meetings are essentially a waste of time anyway, and my meetings are very brief, maybe 30 seconds. Nobody's listening anyway. My pet peeve; when one of my partners steps in when I am done and starts covering a bunch of other unnecessary stuff.
