Howard "Howie" Dallmar, Sr. (May 24, 1922 – December 19, 1991) was an American professional basketball player and coach.
A 6'4" forward from San Francisco, California, Dallmar played collegiately at Stanford University. He was an All-American selection and led Stanford to the 1942 NCAA Division I Men's Tournament championship, earning tournament Most Outstanding Player honors. Dallmar's playing career was interrupted by World War II. Stationed at the University of Pennsylvania for 13 weeks in preparation for aerial navigation, he led a team of 17-year-olds to the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League (later called the Ivy League) Championship and was named All-American.
From 1946 to 1949, he played professionally for the Philadelphia Warriors of the Basketball Association of America (the forerunner to the NBA). Dallmar was the third leading scorer (behind Joe Fulks and Angelo Musi) on the team which won the 1947 BAA Championship.
Dallmar coached the University of Pennsylvania basketball team from 1948 to 1954, before returning to Stanford as head basketball coach in 1954. He remained at Stanford for 21 seasons, compiling a 256-264 record and is the school's second all-time winningest coach with 256 victories. His 21 year tenure is the longest of any basketball coach at Stanford. He led Stanford to a PAC Eight title in 1962-63. That season Stanford ended the year ranked tenth in the nation by United Press International.
He died of congestive heart failure in 1991.
