RYAN Gregorio has been appointed as the new 3x3 program director of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas.
The former PBA coach replaced Ronnie Magsanoc, with the appointment formalized in a press release by the SBP.
The change comes at the heels of a disappointing performance by the 3x3 team in the 33rd Southeast Asian Games where both the men’s and women’s teams failed to reach the medal rounds.
The SBP said that Gregorio, a three-time PBA champion and three-time Coach of the Year by the PBA Press Corps, will be tasked to “ensure success for both teams and engage the Philippine 3x3 community with more initiatives.”
In the press release that also served as its year-end report, the SBP admitted that the Gilas 3x3 teams “underperformed relative to expectations” but also said that other feats during 2025.
The Gilas Women ranked No. 19 in the world due to accomplishments that included making it to the top four of the FIBA Asia Cup in Singapore despite playing with only three players, an achievement that improved its rankings.
The Philippine women’s team also ruled its conference in the U23 Nations League Tournament to gain a spot in the FIBA U23 3x3 World Cup in China, and had a respectable showing in games against United States and Spain.
Gilas also saw action in the FIBA 3x3 Women’s Series where it finished 18th out of 60 nations.
Gilas Men 3x3 placed second in its conference in the U23 Nations League, and had more than one appearance in the FIBA 3x3 World Tour made possible by the SBP’s hosting of the 2025 FIBA 3x3 Manila Challenger.
The men’s team is ranked No. 40 in the world.
