A native of Chicago, he was head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Prior to landing his first head coaching job after Fratello's dismissal, Barone had served as an assistant coach for five seasons. Barone was also the Grizzlies' director of player personnel.
