Paul Sunderland graduated from Loyola University in 1975 and was on the US national volleyball team from 1976-84. He competed at multiple internationals, including the 1975 Pan American Games, the 1977 World Cup, the 1978 World Championships and the 1981 Canada Cup. After the 1984 Olympics, in which the US team won the gold medal, Sunderland devoted himself to a broadcasting career in Southern California. He famously took over for long-term Los Angeles Laker announcer Chick Hearn, doing play-by-play for the Lakers from 2002-05. He has worked for Fox Sports Net, NBC, and several Southern California stations, calling several Olympic sports, beach volleyball at the Olympics, and the NBA on NBC.
