Because when Shaq gets the ball in the post, fouling him is a pretty good way to negate an advantage. If Nash is ready to penetrate, fouling Shaq is a good way to stop a fast break.
I can see how this strategy could work early, taking away a few possessions by putting the grand mason himself on the line.
