There's definitely no guarantee anything would have changed had Hoshino dealt with things different, or if players were able to make adjustments better / quicker, but at least it would have felt as if they really tried.<br /> <br /> Some of the commentary floating around right now is that the team looked flat and uninterested. More than anything, I think that's what is really bothering people right now.<br /> <br /> My GF was really disappointed to upset to hear that the entire team stayed at a 5-star hotel instead of at the Olympic village. Stories like this make it seem as though the players were getting too high on themselves. Thanks.

It's worth mentioning something you brought up before the Olympics, too, that anything can happen when you're playing a small tournament like this. Nice write-up, Gen.
