～そうにない (sou ni nai) means 'unlikely to' or 'doesn't look like'. 暇そうにない (hima sou ni nai) would mean 'doesn't look bored'.

～にすぎない (ni suginai) means 'nothing more than' or 'merely'. 暇にすぎない (hima ni suginai) would mean 'merely bored', which doesn't convey the strong feeling.

驚かせてもらおう (odorokasete moraou) means 'Let's have them be surprised (by us)', but the nuance of もらう (morau) implies receiving a favor, which is not suitable for the coach's strong, active encouragement to surprise the world.

伝わらないはずだった (tsutawaranai hazu datta) means 'it shouldn't have been conveyed', which implies it was intentionally not conveyed or impossible to convey, not that it simply wasn't.

伝えなかったらしい (tsutaenakatta rashii) means 'it seems they didn't convey it'. This uses the transitive verb 伝える (tsutaeru - to convey) and implies someone *failed* to convey it, which is possible but less direct than the passive form focusing on the information itself not being conveyed.

なると言えるでしょうか (naru to ieru deshou ka) means 'can it be said that it will become?', which is a question of possibility, not an expression of hope.

なっているとよかったのです (natte iru to yokatta no desu) means 'it would have been good if it were (already) like that', expressing regret about the past or present, not hope for the future.

なってほしかったのでしょう (natte hoshikatta no deshou) means 'it was probably desired that it become like that', which is a conjecture about past desire, not a present hope.
