He accepted an offer to coach basketball at Villanova College, and worked various jobs, eventually joining Suncorp Metway as a project manager. In 2008 Kyle and his second wife Jane became coach and team manager respectively of the Brisbane Spinning Bullets, Queensland's National Wheelchair Basketball League (NWBL) team. Through this he got to know Ben Ettridge, who coached a rival NWBL team, the Perth Wheelcats, but also the Australian men's national wheelchair basketball team, known as the Rollers. At Ettridge's invitation, he participated in a national training camp in Canberra. He then accepted an offer from Ettridge to join the Rollers at a training camp in Varese, and the Paralympic World Cup in Manchester, quitting his job at Subcorp Metway to do so. Afterwards, he accepted another offer from Ettridge, to become an assistant coach of the Under 23 national side at the 2009 IWBF U23 World Wheelchair Basketball Championship in Paris. He became an assistant coach of the Rollers in 2010, and participated in the Rollers' campaign at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London, where they won silver. In 2013, he became head coach of the Under 23 national side, selecting David Gould, who had been the assistant coach in London of the Australian women's national wheelchair basketball team, known as the Gliders. After London, Basketball Australia decided to appoint a full-time head coach for the Gliders for the first time. A selection panel chaired by Basketball Australia's General Manager of High Performance, Steven Icke that also included Rollers' head coach Ettridge, former Australian Opals head coach Jan Stirling and the General Manager of Sport at the Australian Paralympic Committee, Michael Hartung, chose Kyle. In announcing his appointment, the Chief Executive Officer of Basketball Australia, Kristina Keneally, said that "in Tom, we have a coach who has the ability to lead the team to future success and understands the expectations on the Gliders program." Gould became his assistant coach, and Jane Kyle became the team manager. Troy Sachs also became an assistant coach in 2014. At the 2014 Women's World Wheelchair Basketball Championship though, the Gliders came a disappointing sixth. The Gliders did not qualify for the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro after finishing second to China at the 2015 Asia Oceania Qualifying Tournament. In August 2016, David Gould succeeded him as the Gliders' coach. Kyle went to Rio as assistant coach of the Rollers.
