Simpson’s father, Jason Simpson, is the longtime head coach of UT-Martin. Since taking the helm of the Skyhawks in 2006, Jason has compiled a 127–97 record and won five Ohio Valley Conference titles (2006, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024).

Ty’s mother, Julie Simpson, is frequently seen at his games. She has spoken about the family balancing Ty’s schedule with Jason’s coaching duties.
"It's not easy," Julie told WPSD. "But I would not have it any other way. The only thing I would change is if Ty could play during the day, and the Skyhawks at night."
