What does Caitlin Clark’s boyfriend do?

Much like Caitlin Clark, McCaffery was an athlete for Iowa as part of the men’s basketball team. After all, he is the son of Fran McCaffery, the former head coach of the men’s basketball team at Iowa. Not only was he an excellent basketball player, but he had the potential to be in Major League Baseball. However, his injuries led him to focus on basketball.

According to ESPN, McCaffery works with the Indiana Pacers as a team assistant. He’s fairly new to the job; he graduated last year and landed the job in May 2023. In an interview from last year, he shared his approach to the new chapter of 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.
