edit

Reyes played for San Beda Red Lions in his collegiate days. He also coached the Red Lions in 2002 until 2003,[2][3][4] but his two seasons did not produced a title, even a final four appearance, and replaced by Nash Racela.[5]

Reyes returned to coaching, this time with the Foton Pampanga Tornadoes.[6]

With the formation of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League, he joined Bacoor Strikers from 2018, with Marlou Aquino as assistant.[6] He also recruited his son Mikee to the team.[1][6] In October 2018, he stepped down as head coach and replaced by Leo Isaac, citing differences with management.[7][8] He then coached the Imus Bandera in 2019.[9] But after a month, he was replaced by Mac Cuan.[10]

He later coached the Mindoro Tamaraws in 2022 until 2023, and the Bulacan Kuyas from 2024.[11]
