Dillard girls basketball coach Marcia Pinder, who coached the Panthers for 44 seasons and won more basketball games than any high school coach in Florida history, died at the age of 70.
“It was bigger than winning games for her,” Dillard principal Casandra Robinson said. “It was making a difference in the lives of students. Getting their educations was her ultimate goal.”
Pinder built the Dillard girls basketball program into a powerhouse. In her 44 seasons at the Fort Lauderdale school, she accrued a 996-231 record. She is the winningest basketball coach — for girls or boys — in Florida high school history.
