05/11/2010 - Springfield, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Reporter Jackie MacMullan and broadcaster Joe Tait have been selected as the 2010 recipients of the Curt Gowdy Media Award from the Basketball Hall of Fame.

The Gowdy Media Award is named in honor of the legendary sports broadcaster and former Basketball Hall of Fame President, the late Curt Gowdy. This prestigious award is presented annually to members of the print and electronic media whose longtime efforts have made a significant contribution to the game of basketball.

MacMullan and Tait will be honored during the Hall of Fame's enshrinement ceremonies in August in Springfield, Massachusetts.

A pro basketball reporter with the Boston Globe for three decades, MacMullan recently collaborated on a best-selling book with Hall of Famers Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. She began her career with the Globe in 1982 and also worked for Sports Illustrated from 1995-2000 before heading back to the newspaper as a columnist and associate editor in 2002.

Tait has been the voice of the Cleveland Cavaliers on the radio for the past 15 seasons and has been employed by the club in some capacity for all but two years since the team's inaugural season of 1970. After 11 years with the Cavs, he had stints with New Jersey in 1981 and Chicago in 1982 before returning to Cleveland in 1983.

Previous winners of the Gowdy Award, which has been presented since 1990, include legendary broadcasters Marty Glickman, Chick Hearn, Dick Enberg, Johnny Most, Dick Stockton and Marv Albert, as well as Leonard Koppett, Bob Ryan and Jim O'Connell on the print side.
