Fever’s Caitlin Clark Sends Special Message to Boyfriend After Landing Butler Basketball Job

Caitlin Clark is on her way to becoming one of the greatest women’s basketball players of all time. Clark, despite being a rookie, has turned the Indiana Fever around and turned them into a playoff team, all while being one of the best point guards in the league, despite their turnover issues. But Clark isn’t the only one making strides in the world. Her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, has also made huge strides in his career. get a new job as an assistant coach with the Butler University men’s basketball program.

Of course, in a relationship, one person’s victory is also the other’s victory. The Fever star wasted no time in congratulating her partner on his new job, giving McCaffery a shout-out on her Instagram Story.

“Yayy!! so happy for you 🤍 @connor_m30,” Clark wrote.

The good news for the couple is that the job McCaffery has taken won’t require him to be away from his partner. Butler University is located in Indianapolis, Indiana, the same city where Caitlin Clark’s Fever studio is located. Distance isn’t always the easiest thing to handle in a relationship, so McCaffery’s new job won’t require a major adjustment on either side of the relationship.

McCaffery and Clark met on campus (Iowa) and haven’t been far apart since. The former was a two-sport star for Iowa; as the son of Iowa men’s basketball head coach Fran McCaffery, he was a standout for the university’s baseball and basketball programs. Clark, meanwhile, was turning heads as a freshman with the Hawkeyes, making history at the university in the process despite not winning a national title.

Last year, McCaffery took an assistant coaching job with the Indiana Pacers, perhaps foreshadowing Clark’s eventual arrival as the savior of the Pacers’ WNBA franchise. Today, both continue to make names for themselves as Indianapolis sports icons. Maybe one day, McCaffery will progress enough in his coaching career to become the head coach of a major basketball program.

Caitlin Clark’s Stellar Rookie Season Feels Like a Fever Dream

Caitlin Clark’s meteoric rise to the top of the WNBA shows no signs of slowing down. Expectations were already high after her historic stint with the Iowa Hawkeyes, but Clark has managed to exceed those expectations, leading the Fever to their first return trip to the playoffs since 2016.

Clark has been the subject of much controversy throughout her freshman campaign. Many detractors have attempted to downplay her role as one of the most transformative forces behind the WNBA’s rise to mainstream prominence, but the Fever star has confirmed her cultural impact through her on-court performances.

She now holds the record for most assists in a season in WNBA history, and every game she plays is a must-see due to her offensive power. She has a limitless range that reminds her of Stephen Curry, while also being generous when it comes to serving her teammates. Kelsey Mitchell, in particular, has reached a new level in her game alongside Clark.

At just 22 years old, Clark has no limits to her development. She is on track to become one of the greatest basketball players of all time, provided, of course, that she remains healthy in the near future.
