An autopsy showed that a basketball coach who collapsed Friday night during his team's debut at Penn State McKeesport died of heart disease, the Allegheny County coroner's office said.

Thomas Washington, 60, of Wilmington, Del., was coach of the Pennsylvania Pit Bulls of the American Basketball Association, a minor-league basketball league.

He collapsed with 7:59 left in the team's inaugural game and was pronounced dead at UPMC McKeesport.
