Signing up but never completing schedule? This may be annoying, but it really only hurts the person who can't finish.
Not returning phone calls, emails or texts?
Again, annoying, but probably not worthy of banishment in my book.

Sorry, but these three are totally related.
And this has been a
huge problem in at least one league in which I take part.
Guys arrive on time waiting to play - then hours later other coach(es) arrives or now show - even though they knew and confirmed start time.
Not cool at all and hurts all involved.
Commish tries to find out if a guy is coming using EVERY available means of communication - no answer - like they fell off the face of the earth!!!
Man-up and return the call or email or text (like Vince Young) at least - No is ok.
Commish sets up a schedule (not always definite dates) which commits teams to play other teams and then play dates roll around and a team or two is a no show, no call, etc - definitely hurting other coaches who want to play and had been scheduled to play that coach.
Again if you don't really want to play or can't - then don't say yes, yes and then disappear like Hofa!
