Award-winning Phoenix sportswriter to cover GCU athletics
PHOENIX – Award-winning Phoenix sportswriter Paul Coro has joined Grand Canyon to expand and enhance GCULopes.com coverage of the athletic department's teams.
Coro returns to his west Phoenix roots to provide multimedia content of Lopes sports as GCU completes a four-year Division I transition period for projected eligibility in 2017-18 Western Athletic Conference and NCAA tournaments.
Coro is well-known for his basketball beat coverage of the Phoenix Suns for the past 13 years. He will provide GCULopes.com with that same dedication and creative expertise on Coach Dan Majerle's rapidly rising men's basketball program, starting with this month's exhibition tour of Spain.
Coro's feature writing will touch on all Lopes sports to share in-depth looks at the student-athletes' talents, trials and travels. He also will cover major contests across 21 GCU sports teams and write a Lopes Insider Blog for frequent bits of insight or interest. After a career of multimedia work with radio, television and web, Coro will contribute to GCULopes.com videos and GCU.TV as well as Lopes radio and television game broadcasts.
Coro, a Phoenix native, covered the Suns from 2004 to 2016 for The Arizona Republic after holding the Arizona State and high school sports beats. Coro's peers selected him as the National Sports Media Association's Arizona Sports Writer of the Year for 2010, 2015 and 2016, and he was named Best Sports Writer by Phoenix Magazine in 2006.
Coro also was this year's NBA national correspondent for the Los Angeles Times and served as a weekend radio show host for "The Fanatic." He formerly was a staff writer for The Kansas City Star, East Valley Tribune and San Antonio Light. He was on NBATV's "The Beat" panel, contributed high school and Suns coverage locally to KPNX-TV and was a frequent guest for local and national radio stations and television networks.
