However he would be removed from his position, following a "reshuffling" in the whole Philippine national team program in response to the Philippines–Australia brawl in July 2018, which involved his father Chot.[1]
Reyes returned to the youth program, coaching the U17 team. He would help them qualify for the 2024 FIBA Under-17 Basketball World Cup after reaching the semifinals of the 2023 FIBA U16 Asian Championship in Qatar.[4]
