They are pretty much a footnote in sports history, but some interesting things occurred during the short history of the old American Basketball Association’s San Diego Conquistadors. They were rare in that they were an ABA expansion franchise, and their early coaches included former Boston Celtic K.C. Jones, who would go on to coach the Celts, and, in 1973-74, Wilt Chamberlain. Wilt was hired as a player/coach but the courts ruled the contract he signed violated the terms of his playing contract with the NBA Lakers, so he was only allowed to coach.
