What does Caitlin Clark’s boyfriend do?

Much like Caitlin Clark, McCaffery boasts an athletic background at Iowa, having been a member of the men’s basketball team. Notably, he hails from a basketball family, being the son of Fran McCaffery, the former head coach of Iowa’s men’s basketball team. Despite his basketball prowess, McCaffery also demonstrated potential in Major League Baseball. However, persistent injuries redirected his focus towards basketball.

According to ESPN, McCaffery currently serves as a team assistant with the Indiana Pacers. Despite being relatively new to the role, having graduated just last year and securing the position in May 2023, McCaffery is already making strides in his career. In a past interview, he shared insights into his approach to this new chapter in his life.

“I’ll play dummy defense, run the scout team, help coaches on film stuff, help on video projects if they need, scouting reports if they need,” he said. “Whatever you’re asked to do, be ready to do it.”

McCaffery explained that he wants to grow and take the job seriously. According to him, hard work will be a driving force in his growth in his profession.
