Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head with the last part - keeping the agent's client's name out there. The coach can't feel used, because, you never know what comes out of the meeting. Maybe you don't get that DC position but you've wowed them enough to land some sort of coaching position with the team, and that's better than not working at all.
