TNT is bringing back coach Chot Reyes in a bid to end the franchise’s long PBA dry spell.
The Tropang Giga made the announcement Saturday, Feb. 13, as they decided to go with the multi-time champion mentor after two seasons under Bong Ravena and active consultant Mark Dickel.
“It’s like a homecoming for Chot. He is a coach that gave us four championships. We look forward to a successful relationship with Coach Chot,” said TNT governor and PBA chairman Ricky Vargas in a statement.
Vargas added that Reyes “wanted Dickel to stay on as an active consultant” but the former New Zealand national player and understudy of Gilas Pilipinas program director Tab Baldwin “decided to look for new opportunities and recuperate from his recent operation in Las Vegas.”
