Rumors

Al McCoy, the "Voice of the Suns" entering his 39th season, said he has decided to miss about 12 road games this season to take breaks like baseball announcers do. "I think it's about time I slowed down a bit," he said Wednesday. McCoy said he likely will hand over his duties on two long East Coast trips to Jeff Munn. Munn, the Suns' public-address announcer from 1991- 2003, also fills in on Diamondbacks radio play-by-play in addition to hosting pre- and postgame shows. Munn has called Arizona State women's basketball since 2004. McCoy said he never pondered retiring. "It isn't any indication of when I'm going to completely retire," he said.
