 In Chamberlain 's third season , the Warriors were coached by Frank McGuire , the coach who had masterminded Chamberlain 's painful NCAA loss against the Tar Heels . In that year , Wilt set several all @-@ time records which have never been threatened . In the 1962 season , he averaged 50 @.@ 4 points and grabbed 25 @.@ 7 rebounds per game . On March 2 , 1962 , in Hershey , Pennsylvania , Wilt scored 100 points , shot 36 of 63 from the field , and made 28 of 32 free throws against the New York Knicks . Chamberlain 's 4 @,@ 029 regular @-@ season points made him the only player to break the 4 @,@ 000 @-@ point barrier ; the only other player to break the 3 @,@ 000 @-@ point barrier is Michael Jordan , with 3 @,@ 041 points in the 1986 – 87 NBA season . Chamberlain once again broke the 2 @,@ 000 @-@ rebound barrier with 2 @,@ 052 . Additionally , he was on the hardwood for an average of 48 @.@ 53 minutes , playing 3 @,@ 882 of his team 's 3 @,@ 890 minutes . Because Chamberlain played in overtime games , he averaged more minutes per game than the regulation 48 ; in fact , Chamberlain would have reached the 3 @,@ 890 @-@ minute mark if he had not been ejected in one game after picking up a second technical foul with eight minutes left to play .
