Shay has worked extensively with head coach Steve Forbes. Their shared stops include Tennessee from 2006 to 2011, Northwest Florida State College from 2011 to 2013, East Tennessee State from 2015 to 2020, and Wake Forest beginning in 2021. Across 12 seasons together at those earlier programs, their teams posted a combined 315-101 record, an average of 26 wins per year.
