Bobby E. Jr.: Joel Katz...welcome to the Miller Lite Hot Seat

Joel: Glad to be here, glad we could finally make it happen.

Bobby E. Jr.: I have to start with the obvious. Why Kevin at 3?

Joel: Really, it wasnt a tough decision at all. one of the most important factors I look at is team chemistry, and with kevin I think that will be natural. our styles of play will match well together and if it doesnt work out, who cares, we'll just watch curb and drink beers like we do every tuesday.

Bobby E. Jr.: everyone that knows you knows you're a baseball first guy. What does being in a basketball league like the DWL mean to you? ?

Joel: Being in a basketball league like the dwl means a lot to me--i'm still in the DWL playing, I've retired from baseball. What does that tell you?

Bobby E. Jr.: Whether or not you know much about the new wave of talent that will make their DWL debuts this year, how do you feel about this new wave in general? Is it too many new faces or is it a good building block for the future of the DWL?

Joel: This new wave is going to be interesting...I just hope they have what it takes. They think they can just step into the dwl and ball, but it's deeper than that. There is a history of the league that they must respect, and people have made sacrifices to make the league what it is today. They need to know that playing in the dwl is a privilege, and if I see them taking it for granted Iwill take it out on them on the court. As long as they respect the league its a good building block for the future of the DWL..

Bobby E. Jr.: Alright now we're going to move on into more of the quick response portion. I'll start off buy asking you a question, you'll respond with which 1 DWL player you'd most like to have.
