Shaw, 54, spent parts of two seasons as the head coach of the Denver Nuggets from 2013 to 2015, amassing a 56-mark. He also spent time on the coaching staffs on the Los Angeles Lakers and Indiana Pacers. Most recently, he was an associate head coach under Luke Walton with the Lakers from 2016 to 2019.

As a player, Shaw played 943 games over 14 seasons with the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers and Lakers, winning three titles with the Lakers as a player (2000 to 2002) and two more as an assistant (2009 and 2010).
