Al McCoy, the longtime Phoenix Suns broadcaster will receive the 2007 Curt Gowdy Media Award from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame during Enshrinement festivities September 7-9 in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Named in honor of the late legendary sports broadcaster and former Basketball Hall of Fame President Curt Gowdy, the prestigious awards are given annually to one member of the print and one member of the electronic media whose efforts have made a significant contribution to the game of basketball.

“The Gowdy Award presentation is certainly one of the highlights of Enshrinement Weekend, and both Mr. McCoy and Mr. Moran exemplify the true spirit of the award”, said John L. Doleva, Hall of Fame President & CEO, in a statement. “These two men have dedicated much of their professional careers to telling the story of basketball for millions of readers, listeners and viewers, and the Hall of Fame is proud to honor their efforts.”

McCoy, considered by many to be the dean of all NBA play-by-play announcers, will mark his 36th season with the Suns in 2007-08, the longest tenure with any one team among current broadcasters.
