Wow...this is a surprising decision.
Johan definitely didn't went the easy way there.
In my eyes this will put some extra pressure on the coach, Justin and team USA in general.
And even if all goes well and team USA even defents their title, it might bite them in the ass next year, when the players think they can ignore the selection process and hope they might make the team, if they just put together a stellar performance at the right moment.
But that is a decision every coach has to make every now and then: do you reward the hard worker or do you reward the shining star.
We will see how it will turn out...it definitely adds some extra spice to this years MC.
