Shaw comes to Raleigh after spending the 2024–25 season as the head assistant coach at Penn State Harrisburg, where he helped guide the Lions to an 18–9 record overall.

Prior to Penn State Harrisburg, Shaw served three seasons as a student assistant coach at Guilford College, his alma mater. During his time with the Quakers, the program earned three straight winning seasons, including a 26-win campaign and a trip to the 2024 NCAA Division III Final Four. Shaw also helped Guilford reach the ODAC Championship Game in 2023.

A native of Dallas, N.C., Shaw was a four-sport athlete at North Gaston High School, earning all-conference honors in basketball and tennis while also lettering in baseball and cross country. He will contribute to all areas of the Pacer men's basketball program, including recruiting, player development, scouting, and game-day preparation.

"We are excited to welcome Coach Shaw to 15 E Peace Street." Head Coach Claude Shields said. "He has a bright basketball mind and has learned under some legendary coaches thus far. He will be a tremendous asset in helping our student-athletes reach their potential in the classroom and on the court."
