Caitlin Clark’s boyfriend Connor McCaffery has begun his tenure as an assistant coach on staff at Butler University. During his team’s second game of the season, Clark showed up to support her McCaffery from the stands. However, in the eyes of the broadcast crew, Clark may have outshone her boyfriend by coming.
During Butler’s loss to Austin Peay on Friday, the Fox College Hoops broadcast showed Clark sitting in the stands. The broadcast name card identified her as “Caitlin Clark 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year.” Then, when the camera turned to McCaffery on the sidelines, a name card identified him as “Connor McCaffery WNBA ROTY Caitlin Clark’s Boyfriend.”
But the broadcast even had to get McCaffery’s little brother involved in the gimmick.
After disregarding McCaffery’s title, his brother Patrick McCaffery, who is a player on Butler’s team, was shown with a name card that read, “Patrick McCaffery WNBA ROTY Caitlin Clark’s Boyfriend’s Brother.”
