Shaw is a 1975 Mishawaka High School graduate. He helped the Cavemen to the Class 3-A state runner-up finish in 1974 and earned the Phil Eskew Mental Attitude Award.

Shaw spent 27 years coaching in Michigan. He was the head coach at Three Rivers High School for 19 years, spent six as the head coach at Grandville High School and two as an assistant coach at Hope College.
