WNBA star Caitlin Clark is celebrating a major slam dunk in boyfriend Connor McCaffery’s career.
The Indiana Fever guard congratulated Connor on his new role as Assistant Coach for the Butler University basketball team in a Sept. 16 Instagram Story post, writing alongside a social media announcement, “Yayy!! So happy for you.”
Connor, 26, previously played guard for the Iowa Hawkeyes at the University of Iowa for six seasons, finishing with the second-best assist-to-turnover ratio in NCAA history. He then served as the Basketball Development Coordinator for the Indiana Pacers during the 2023-2024 season.
“Following a high-level playing career, Connor has had the opportunity to both contribute and learn alongside one of the best staffs in the NBA,” Butler head coach Thad Matta said in a statement. “Those experiences will be very valuable to our staff. He obviously comes from a basketball family that I know very well and I’m excited for the impact he is going to have on our program both quickly and in the long run.”
