Chico A. Lanete (born August 1, 1979) is a Filipino professional basketball coach and former player. He is the head coach for the Chooks-to-Go 3x3 pro circuit teams. In 5×5 full court basketball, he last played for the Bicol Volcanoes of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).^[1] He grew up in Isabela, Basilan and then played for Southern City Colleges in Zamboanga City during college before moving to Lyceum of the Philippines University.

Lanete and his brother Von both played for Southern City Colleges in Zamboanga City before the latter moved to Cebu and played for the University of the Visayas Green Lancers under coach Boy Cabahug, and the former to the Lyceum of the Philippines University.

Lanete was an undrafted player in the 2007 PBA draft but was later signed by the Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants before moving to the Barangay Ginebra Kings.

In 2009, he was signed by the Burger King Whoppers.

On January 5, 2010, he and Gary David were traded to the Coca-Cola Tigers for Alex Cabagnot and Wesley Gonzales.^[2]

In late 2011, Lanete was signed by the Meralco Bolts.

On August 24, 2014, in the day of the 2014 PBA draft, Lanete returned to the Energy after being traded along with Jojo Duncil, San Miguel's 2014 second round pick (who turned out to be Gab Banal) and their 2016 first round pick in exchange of Barako Bull's 2014 third overall pick (which San Miguel used to pick Ronald Pascual).^[4]

Lanete was appointed as assistant coach to Eric Altamirano who will be guiding three Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3 teams that will participate in FIBA 3x3 tournaments. He will also help preparations of the Philippines men's national 3x3 team in the 2020 Summer Olympics qualifiers.^[5]
