The Hartford is proud to once again sponsor The Bob Cousy Award for College Basketball Point Guard of the Year. Fans across the country can vote to help determine which of the seventeen finalists will earn the award. You can cast your ballot at www.cousyaward.com. The winner of the award will be announced at the Final Four in Atlanta in conjunction with the announcement of the Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2007.

“The Bob Cousy Award presented by The Hartford has established itself as one of college basketball’s premier awards” said John L. Doleva, Hall of Fame President & CEO. “Mr. Cousy had a vision for this award when it was created – to recognize winning traits like leadership, vision and integrity. When you review the credentials of the student-athletes who are Finalists for the 2007 Award, it is clear there are a number of talented players who are striving to achieve the standard set by Mr. Cousy. ”

"Just like these players demonstrate on the basketball court, The Hartford and its network of independent agents represent leadership, vision, teamwork and integrity in the insurance industry," said David Moore, assistant vice president of marketing for The Hartford's Property & Casualty operations. "We're honored to be part of a growing tradition that supports these values, and we wish the best of luck to all the finalists for this year's award."

When you vote, you are doing more than helping select the award winner – you are registering for a chance to win a pair of tickets to an NCAA Tournament game of your choice. The winner will be announced following a drawing at the end of the regular season.

In addition to the fan voting, a Blue Ribbon Panel of coaches, members of the media and sports information directors are involved in the selection process. The panel, which includes representatives from The Hartford, features such legends as Dean Smith, Dick Vitale, Gary Williams, Jim Calhoun and Bob Cousy himself.
