March 3, 2015 – Brian Shaw fired as Nuggets head coach

NBA: New Orleans Pelicans at Denver Nuggets

After leading the Denver Nuggets to a cumulative 56-85 record over nearly two years, Brian Shaw joined John Fox in the recently departed Denver head coaches club. The 2014-15 Nuggets stumbled to a 20-39 record under Shaw, including a 2-19 record in his final 21 games. Between Ty Lawson and the “1-2-3 … six weeks” cheer, Shaw showed he had little control over his team. Shaw was fired just a few days later, with assistant coach Melvin Hunt named as his interim replacement.
