Basketball runs through his blood
Not only is T.J.'s father involved in basketball, he actually comes from a well-known basketball family.
T.J.’s aunts and uncles compose a literal Who’s Who of Western Pennsylvania basketball.
One aunt, Suzie McConnell-Serio, is the head women’s coach at Pittsburgh, having been an All-American at Penn State who won an Olympic gold medal and played in the WNBA.
