Nuggets hire Shaw as coach: report Jun 25th 2013, 05:36 June 24 | Tue Jun 25, 2013 1:36am EDT June 24 (Reuters) - The Denver Nuggets have hired Brian Shaw as their new coach, the Denver Post reported on Monday, giving the long-time assistant his first top job in the NBA. The 47-year-old spent the last two seasons on the Indiana Pacers coaching staff after serving the six previous years with the Los Angeles Lakers under Phil Jackson. He will take over from Coach of the Year George Karl, who was let go at the end of a season that saw the Nuggets eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. "I'm very appreciative of the opportunity to lead this team," Shaw told the Denver Post. "Everything that's worth something, a lot of times you have to wait for it. I feel like I've waited and paid my dues." Shaw played for seven different teams during a 14-year career and was a member of the Lakers' team that won three championships in a row from 2000-2002.
