Recently mother of the Canadian Kentucky basketball signee Lyles shared with the Central Kentucky News how she’s always been involved in Trey’s career,

“I keep our school stats. Tom coaches. It is exciting. We of course want them to always win. Most of all we want them to play together as a team. They have each others’ backs. I have been the team mom ever since he has been playing, even through high school. AAU days, everything. I have boxes and boxes of stats. We have always been very involved in Trey’s basketball and education. We are a very close-knit family. Tom has been his only trainer. He is assistant coach. We are all very well connected.”  Treys mother Jasenka Lyles mentioned.
