Chot back as TNT head coach as Jolas returns to managerial job

The hiatus of Chot Reyes is finally over.

The former national team head coach will reassume his job as the TNT head coach after taking a four-month break.

After the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, Reyes called for a break from coaching, citing the stress of being the Gilas Pilipinas head coach taking a toll on him.

He missed the 2023-24 PBA Commissioner’s Cup, with Jojo Lastimosa remaining as the head coach of the Tropang Giga.

Now, he is back.

TNT is coming off a quarterfinals finish in the recently-concluded conference.

Lastimosa, meanwhile, will be returning to his old role as team manager.

Lastimosa also received a contract extension by TNT.

Reyes, on the other hand, is still contracted with TNT until December 31.
