Gilas Pilipinas head coach Chot Reyes says it would be up to the federation to decide on his fate, as calls for his resignation continue to gain steam with every passing loss
MANILA, Philippines – Chot Reyes is once again under a searing-hot spotlight after Gilas Pilipinas crashed out of contention, both in the 2023 FIBA World Cup that the Philippines is co-hosting and the outright 2024 Paris Olympics berth that the World Cup was offering.
“With regards to my personal future, that really is in the hands of the federation, but for me, myself, you all know I’m already retired and left this job several times,” said Reyes, who replaced Tab Baldwin in early 2022 – 10 years after his full-time coaching streak ended. After his last club stint ended in 2012 with the PBA’s TNT franchise, Reyes went on to coach Gilas in spurts and had his shining moment in 2013 as the mastermind behind breaking the so-called “Korean curse,” with Gilas besting known tormentor South Korea in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship semifinals.
For better or worse, Reyes, Gilas, and its disgruntled fans are stuck with one another as the host’s final 2023 World Cup game against China approaches on Saturday, September 2.
