The 2006-2007 NBA season is Holman's 22nd season with Hawks. Holman has also covered the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta Chiefs (soccer) and Georgia Tech baseball since moving to Atlanta in 1980.

Holman also covered the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, calling radio play-by-play action for the United States men’s and women’s Gold Medal basketball teams, as well as boxing.
