He originally joined the club in 1985 as an assistant coach responsible for advance pro and college scouting.

On two occasions Reynolds served as the Kings head coach following midseason changes. In 1987, he was named, on an interim basis, to replace former Head Coach Phil Johnson. The following year he took over for Bill Russell with 24 games remaining and stayed on as the club's head coach for the next two seasons.

He also served as the director of player personnel for two seasons (1990-92) before accepting the role as the club's general manager (5/92-12/93).

An extremely popular figure with both the Sacramento community and the national media, Reynolds is an often-requested favorite on the public speaking circuit. A graduate of Oakland City University (Indiana) in 1966, he received his master's degree in physical education from Indiana State University in 1970.
