It's hard to fix and develop skills over a two week tournament or a one week camp anyways. The ones that do make the team/camp and saw improvement in their game as a bonus were the ones that earned their spot in the first place. Ho-Sang doesn't understand that.

This.
It is a two-week tournament, and winning is mandatory.
It is not a development camp. And HC owes none of the kids anything.
The fact that he thinks they should be 'fixing' his game (as opposed to trying to build a winning team) speaks volumes to the fact that he is not emotionally ready to be considered.
He is merely digging the hole deeper with these comments.
