Tyler Coston, a full-time director and clinician for Point Guard College, comes to PGC at the culmination of a twelve-year commitment to basketball excellence.

Tyler first attended Point Guard College in 1998 and was instructed by PGC founder Dick DeVenzio. In 1999, Tyler led Lynden Christian High School to the Washington state championship and earned first-team All-State honors. He went on to play university basketball at Trinity Western University, where he was named to the Canada West All-Rookie team. He then transferred to the University of Alberta and led the Golden Bears to Canada West Gold and a spot in the national tournament in 2004.

From 2005-2007, Tyler coached the women’s basketball team at Trinity Western and simultaneously ran a skills development program that produced five Division I athletes. In 2007, he accepted a position as Assistant Coach at Portland State University. During his first year at Portland State, the Vikings won the Big Sky Conference with an overall record of 23-8. After Portland State captured the Big Sky Conference tournament, they went on to the NCAA Tournament where they lost to the eventual 2008 champions, the Kansas Jayhawks.

Tyler is a full-time course director and clinician with Point Guard College.
