Apple was not forced to and she recommended Michael to join. Gyetang joined to meet Androssi. And Novick was on the team to prove how he is stronger than Ran and never did because he never won a match against Ran. Dan was not forced to join because he made a bet against Koon and lost. So it is only a theory but Ran could have been the only one actually "forced" to be on Koon's team for whatever reason. However Dan could have been though as being forced to join even though in reality he made a bet and lost.

So looking at the word "forced" depending on how you interpret it everyone except for Michael could have been "forced" to join just because they had a reason and could not reach a goal they set unless they joined Koon's team.
