While endorsing Brian Shaw as a candidate for the head coach openings of the Los Angeles Clippers and Brooklyn Nets, Shaquille O'Neal was adamant it annoys him that NBA teams are recycling coaches instead of hiring new ones.

“I’m sick and tired of these coaches getting another chance before these other up-and-coming guys,” Shaq said. “People need to realize this is a new era and B Shaw speaks that language. He’s my age, but he understands how it goes. He knows how the players go, how they tick.

"All these guys who have losing records come and try to do the same (expletive). It’s not going work.”

O'Neal and Shaw played together for four seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers.
