CHOT Reyes may no longer be the Gilas Pilipinas head coach, but the fiery Filipino mentor said he's very much willing to help interim national bench tactician Tim Cone in preparing for the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, China. Reyes has officially stepped down from Gilas coaching, just eight days after the Philippines closed its 2023 FIBA World Cup campaign with a 96-75 rout of China. Gilas Pilipinas’ Rhenz Abando blocks an Italian player during the FIBA World Cup group stage on Aug. 29, 2023, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. "I gave my inputs a couple of days ago, not only on who we are going to play but also on who our potential opponents are in the Asian Games. "I don't need a title or any official designation, but in any manner or capacity I'm willing to help out."
