Tony Graystone is in his third season at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi after improving the team's record both seasons at the helm.

In season two, Graystone's team improved to 12-18 on the year, a three match improvement from his first campaign and the first double-digit win season since 2004. The team also won five Southland Conference matches, the second-highest total in school history. With a young roster, Graystone has the Islanders poised for a Southland Tournament run during the 2011 season. In his first year, the Islanders improved by five wins from the previous year.

Before coming to the Island, Graystone was the winningest coach in West Texas A&M volleyball history before taking on the head coaching position for the Islanders to become the third coach in the program's history.

Prior to coming to the Island, Graystone spent 10 seasons as the head coach at West Texas A&M where he posted a 315-61 record. His .837 winning percentage was the third-highest among active NCAA Division II head coaches and he reached 300 victories faster than any other coach in the division's history. He reached 100 wins in 106 games making him the quickest coach at the time in any NCAA sport or division to reach the century mark in wins. He was named the Lone Star Conference Coach of the Year five times and the AVCA Southwest Region Coach of the Year on four occasions.

At West Texas A&M, he guided the Lady Buffs to Lone Star Conference crowns in eight of his 10 seasons and to five NCAA regional titles. He mentored 16 All-Americans and one Division II National Player of the Year in 1999. His 2001 team was ranked No. 1 for seven weeks, while his 2002 team held the top spot for five weeks. In 2003, his team set an NCAA standard with 77 conference wins in a row.

Before becoming the head coach, Graystone was an assistant coach for the Lady Buffs and was part of the coaching staff that won the NCAA Division II Championship in 1997. He also served as the program director for the Amarillo Junior Olympic Volleyball Club. He began his career as a head coach at Waggoner and Ballard High Schools in Louisville.
