Biasone, who was a childhood immigrant to the United States from Italy, was most well known for advocating the use of the shot clock in basketball.
Biasone was posthumously inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000 for his contributions to the sport.
With Syracuse Nationals general manager Leo Ferris, Biasone was responsible for establishing the NBA shot clock at 24 seconds, where it has remained to this day.
Biasone asserted that basketball proved most exciting when it achieved a balance between stalling contests and wild shootouts.
