The national team’s battery of coaches, led by Tim Cone and Jong Uichico, boast of a total of 42 championships and are adept at the international game.
When Cone was named head coach of the Centennial Team in 1998, he brought in Reyes to become his assistant coach. Reyes, in turn, placed a call posthaste to Cone when the national team came calling soon after. Six years removed from coaching in the PBA, Uichico spent the past few years working as head of the Basketball Coaches Commission of the Samahang Basketball ng Pilipinas.
Now Uichico has come full circle in serving the national team – as a player, an assistant and as head coach. “What I try to do is to make sure the players are fundamentally sound and take a look at what the fundamental details they’re doing. So my contribution is probably more on the defensive side. I pride myself in our own defense at Ginebra through the years,” he added.
Cone describes Reyes as the master of the dribble drive, but considers Uichico as probably the best scout in their group.
