Throughout my entire coaching career, I have only missed one tournament. And that was due to the death of my father. It happened early on a Friday morning. Later that day I got in contact with the other coaches to let them know I wan't going to be available. My daughter also missed that tournament as she was very close to my dad. Other than that, I heavy never missed any official games.
I have worked with some other coaches that have missed some games due to work commitments, but this was known well in advance. We typically have a parent available that can handle the book for us and our third coach takes over for one of the other two. It has never been a problem for our teams.
Now if the coach is missing games without providing solid reasons, I would be a little more concerned.
