Timeline

1952

Paul Benedict Sunderland (born March 29, 1952) is an American professional sportscaster who resides in Los Angeles, California.

1970

He attended Notre Dame High School, graduating in 1970.

Sunderland played basketball and football at Notre Dame, and was a San Fernando Valley League All-League selection as both a wide receiver in football and as a forward in basketball.

He started playing volleyball on the beach during his high school years, and states he had an immediate love for the game.

He was recruited to the University of Oregon on a basketball scholarship.

Between his freshman and sophomore college seasons, he began playing a great deal of beach volleyball, and he joined the University of Oregon's USVBA club team during his sophomore year.

Sunderland states he set a goal to play on the United States national volleyball team.

Following his sophomore year, he transferred to Loyola Marymount so he could play basketball and volleyball.

Sunderland developed into one of Loyola's top volleyball players, earning All-America honors.

1975

Sunderland was invited to try out for the United States national team in 1975, and he made the cut for the developmental squad.

1976

Sunderland moved up to the "A" squad, after the United States team failed to qualify for the 1976 Summer Olympics.

1977

He won U.S. Player of the Year awards in 1977, 1979 and 1982, at the USVBA national tournament.

The program hired former player Doug Beal as a full-time coach of the United States men's national team in 1977.

He became the driving force for establishing a full-time, year-round volleyball training center.

1978

The facility was created in Dayton, Ohio, in 1978.

California was the then-hotbed of volleyball talent, and many of the nation's top players would not relocate to Dayton in order to participate on the national team.

1980

The United States failed to qualify for the 1980 Summer Olympics, held in Moscow, of the Soviet Union.

The United States boycotted the games, making the failure to qualify a moot point.

It was clear that the teams that the United States put together following the USVBA nationals were no longer adequate in order to compete on the international level.

1981

The training center and the national team program were moved to San Diego, California, in 1981.

Sunderland was now a veteran, and he had developed into a solid all-around player.

He was joined on the national team in San Diego by a collection of the top collegiate talent from the California area, including Karch Kiraly, Dusty Dvorak, Steve Timmons, Craig Buck, Steven Salmons, Pat Powers and Doug Partie.

1983

The United States squad was among the world's elite teams by 1983.

1984

He is a former collegiate basketball and volleyball player, and played on the United States national volleyball team that won a gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics.

Sunderland grew up in Sherman Oaks, in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California.

The turnaround culminated with the gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Sunderland set winning an Olympic gold medal as a lifetime goal.

Teammate Kiraly, said: "It is something that he really wanted, and it was really neat to see that one of the oldest guys on the team was also the most excited."

Following the completion of his playing career, Sunderland pursued a career in broadcasting.

Sunderland's athletic career formed the base for a broadcast career, initially working as a volleyball commentator.

He was paired with former teammate Chris Marlowe.

Sunderland's hiring was a morale boost to Marlowe, who had been doing broadcast work for a number of years, usually paired with personnel with little or no volleyball experience.

Said Marlowe, "Early on I was working with broadcasters who may not have known a volleyball from a pineapple. When Paul moved into the color spot – that really clicked. We were old friends, played together on the national team for years, and our chemistry was fantastic."

1985

Sunderland's first assignment was in 1985 working with Marlowe at the NCAA Men's Volleyball West Regional match between San Diego State and Pepperdine.

Said Marlowe: "I can ask Paul anything on the air, at any time, and he always has an answer."

From the color commentator spot, Sunderland moved on to do play-by-play, and extended into basketball and other sports.

He soon took on work with the Clippers and Dodgers for Fox Sports Net.

1993

Starting in 1993, Sunderland covered Pac-10 basketball for ESPN.

He subsequently was hired by NBC to cover a number of sports, including the NBA, WNBA and a variety of Olympic sports.

2016

He worked as the indoor volleyball play-by-play announcer for NBC Olympics’ coverage of the 2016 Summer Olympics, and has worked for the NBC Sports Group covering the Olympics since the 1992 Summer Olympics.
