Coaches
Coach Bill Coston
Coach Bill is a well-respected basketball coach in the NYC basketball community, with years of experience helping student athletes to realize their greatest performance levels in the game. Having a passion for basketball, these efforts eventually led him to winning his first championship at age 22 with the 78th Police Athletic League in Brooklyn. Coach Bill was responsible for revamping The Canaan Knights basketball team of Canaan Baptist Church of Christ, NYC, leading it to winning countless summer tournaments and, ultimately, providing a safe haven to keep the youth motivated and off the streets during critical times. As a co-founder of Castle Athletics, Coach Bill also serves on the Castle Athletics Board of Directors.
Coach Darryl Tyson
Coach Darryl has been with Castle Athletics for six years and has coached multiple elementary and middle school-aged student athletes. Darryl played scholastically for Spring Valley High School, winning the City Championship during that period. Besides leading Castle teams, Coach Darryl has also coached teams in CYO programs. Importantly, Darryl leads his charges to become better student athletes and dedicate themselves to social improvement.
Coach Souleymane “Sal” Koureissi
Coach Koureissi played his scholastic basketball at Iona Prep, where he led the Gaels to fantastic CHSAA success, and his travel basketball for Castle Athletics where he starred on teams that thrived on the Adidas Silver and Gold Circuits. Following graduation, Sal went on to play four years at University of Richmond and, with the benefit of an NCCA-authorized extra year, a graduate year at Radford University. Castle welcomes Sal back to lead the charges of the B17U team and provide the leadership and guidance that only a veteran of two D1 programs can provide.
