"He could be a decathalor champion because of his strength. He's the most complete athlete in the world. There's nothing he can't do in athletics." The man 'McGuire was referring to is Wilt Cham berlain, who recently signed a three-year contract as player g. coach of the San Diego y Conquistadors of the ABA for n an estimated $600,000 a year. a Chamberlain, in New York last week promoting his h autoIography "Wilt", in d dicated he'd rather not coach if the Conquistadors could sign an Alex Hannum or a Frank McGuire to coach. e "In his book, he gives me a t lot of credit, " said McGuire. It "He knew that I knew the s game and- he has respect for e me." McGuire coached Cham berlain during the 1961-62 season at Philadelphia, a year which saw Wilt average 50.4 points a game, including 100 in one game. e "He was a scorer on our team,,' said McGuire. "He had e to score. I had a meeting and told Wilt, "You have score 50 points a game for us to win." McGuire commented on the game in which Chamberlain scored 100 points. "The Knicks said he was slow, so I used this to motivate him. There were 11 people chasing him that night, five on their team, four on ours, and two referees. nagintion" PRESENTS LOC ATION P.E.

McGuire said Chamberlain also scored 78 points in another game against Los Angeles that season. "And don't forget the other teams go out to stop Chamberlain," he said. He said that the first time he Frank McGuire ...coached Wilt in pros. met Wilt after becoming coach, Chamberlain was seven minutes late for a meeting. "He showed me the key and, explained he was assigned the wrong room key." "I have a contract and you have one too," McGuire said he told Chamberlain. "I'll never beat you and you'll never beat me, but together we can beat Boston. "He stood up, shook my hand and said, "Coach, but we'll never beat Boston. "He gave out for me the entire year and we came within two points of knocking off Boston," said McGuire. "In the playoffs, we should have beaten Boston." he said. "After the game Wilt came over and he said 'Coach, I know we can beat Boston.' "Boston had a better team than us," said McGuire. "If he(Chamberlain) had played for Boston, they'd never lose." McGuire said that a professional coach must be able to psych his team up night after night.

You've gone 1,000 miles one way and just lost a game to Boston by one point, and you're playing in Los Angeles tonight. you're responsible for making the guys do things, to put out more." McGuire recalled one tough game in which he had to get a player up. "We were in Boston and oneof our guys made a bad mistake, we lost the game and were leaving the next day for Chicago. "When I walked into the airport the next day, he was standing there alone, so I had to do something to get him up. On the plane I came up with a gimmick." "Another time I met a guy about three o'clock in the morning, who had a ridiculous story about how to beat Boston," he said. "He was an old watchman and was telling me how to beat Boston." " You have - to spook Russell, he told me," said McGuire. "You have to break the tension. "I knew the key to those fellows and knew how to get them to jump over the moon," he said. "We'd talk basketball anywhere, but when the game starts, I'm the boss and nobody was ever late for a meeting or practice " he said. une thing that you have to be is the boss," said McGuire. "And you have to have respect, not to rob or beat people, but you must know who the boss is and if I said hold the ball they'd do it. "Pro basketball gets grueling," said McGuire. "It's a grind, a long year. They actually pay the price, they'd push away from meals, they weren't drinkers.
