Connor McCaffery, the boyfriend of WNBA star Caitlin Clark, has officially landed a new role as an assistant coach at Butler University. This role marks a significant progression in his career, coming after his previous position as the basketball development coordinator for the NBA’s Indiana Pacers. McCaffery, who is a former college basketball player from the University of Iowa, will now be applying his skills and knowledge to Butler’s basketball program.
The timing of this new role is especially beneficial for both McCaffery and Clark, as Butler University is located in Indianapolis, Indiana—the same city where Clark plays for the Indiana Fever. This means they can maintain their relationship without the complications of long-distance travel.
The news was officially shared by Butler University through an Instagram post, which Caitlin Clark proudly re-shared on her own Instagram story. Clark’s post was filled with excitement and support, featuring a message that read: “yayy! so happy for you,” along with a white heart emoji and a tag for McCaffery. The couple, who have been dating since last year, clearly have a strong bond, and Clark’s enthusiastic endorsement highlights their supportive relationship.
