I was looking at this from our league's perspective. We don't have a set schedule. If they sign up to play, but never schedule a game, it doesn't
really hurt any of our coaches. It just means their are less teams to pool from. At the end of the day, it means that in the future they don't make my priority list
Them not calling back in the context of standing someone up is not cool. In our league it is counted as a forfeit. I would stand by my commissioner if they booted them for continued no-shows. If they just don't call back or answer emails about general league votes, game days, availability, then I just say, "forget you".

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!
