Jack Murray

Caitlin Clark still has some ties to the college basketball landscape.

Clark's boyfriend, Connor McCaffrey, has been officially hired as an assistant coach for Butler's men's basketball team. Following the news, Clark took to Instagram to celebrate McCaffery's hiring.

Clark posted a story to her Instagram page of McCaffery's official hiring announcement and captioned it "Yayyy!!! So happy for you ❤️."

Clark is in the midst of a strong rookie campaign for the Indiana Fever, averaging 19.5 points, 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds while leading the Fever to a 20-19 record. This comes after a prolific collegiate career at Iowa where she was a four-time All-American, two-time Player of the Year and led her Iowa Hawkeyes to back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball National Championship game.

McCaffery played for the Hawkeyes men's team and appeared in 166 games across six seasons. He averaged 4.5 points, 3.2 assists and three rebounds in his collegiate career.

He now joins the staff of a Butler team that is coming off an 18-15 season and has not reached the NCAA Tournament since the 2017-18 season.
