PBA Coaching Return
Early in the PBA season, he was rumored to be the next head coach of the Talk 'N Text Phone Pals but in the end, the PLDT-owned franchise hired Derrick Pumaren instead.
Reyes was rumored as the successor to Tim Cone after a report of Cone's possible departure as Alaska head coach. On August 3, Reyes was named as the new head coach of the San Miguel Beermen, replacing Jong Uichico, who was moved to sister team Barangay Ginebra.
After a 0-3 start in the PBA Philippine Cup, Reyes coached the Beermen to a 13-5 win-loss card and a semifinals appearance in the tournament. Under his system, Reyes implied a running game for San Miguel, a take-away from the half-court sets used during Uichico's time with the Beermen from 1999-2006.
With the national team reactivated, Reyes left SMB to his assistant Biboy Ravanes for the 2007 PBA Fiesta Conference.
On January 28, 2008, it was announced that Reyes was appointed the new head coach of the Talk 'N Text Phone Pals.
