Dan Parr

New Hampshire’s winning-est high school basketball coach, Dan Parr, is stepping down. Health issues have interfered with compiling even more than the 700 wins his coaching provided boys’ and girls’ teams over half a century.

The last five years brought in a total of 704, best in the state. Portsmouth Community Radio’s Charlie Griffin, who broadcasts morning news along with football and basketball games on 106.1 FM and streaming, spoke to Parr about his long career in coaching.

Congratulations to 76-year-old Dan Parr, and thanks to Charlie Griffin and Portsmouth Community Radio for this interview. For InDepthNH.org, I’m Roger Wood
