The 2018-19 season will be the first for Paul Corsaro as an assistant coach with the Purdue Fort Wayne men's basketball program.
He came to Purdue Fort Wayne from the University of Indianapolis, where he served on the Greyhounds' staff for six seasons. He spent the final two as associate head coach for the NCAA Division II Greyhounds.
Corsaro's tenure on the UIndy staff coincided with one of the most successful stretches in program history. The Hounds compiled four 20-win seasons and four NCAA Tournament appearances in his time. His student-athletes earned 13 All-Great Lakes Valley Conference honors, with Tate Hall receiving GLVC Freshman of the Year accolades in 2016-17. Nine Greyhounds were named to the GLVC All-Defensive Team during Corsaro's time on the bench. The Greyhounds were ranked or received votes in the NABC Division II Top 25 Poll each season of Corsaro's coaching career at Indianapolis. The 2014-15 team spent two weeks ranked No. 1 in the nation. They finished the season 25-6 and advanced to the program's first ever Regional Championship.
As a student-athlete, Corsaro played in 58 games over three seasons for UIndy men's basketball (2009-11) picking up four starts and always guarding the opponent's best offensive player. On the football field, Corsaro played both quarterback and defensive back during his career where he earned three letters for the Greyhounds. He recorded 10 rushing and four passing touchdowns during his career. Corsaro graduated with a bachelor's in communication in 2012 and a master's in business administration (MBA) in 2014, both from UIndy.
