When it comes to taking shots with a WNBA player, your skills are best.
“It gets a little hot,” Caitlyn Clark told Fieldhouse files in September 2024 about a competitive late-night hoop session with boyfriend Conor McCaffery. “I will definitely beat him more than he surpasses me, but he will try to think otherwise.”
But no one bounces ideas back more than McCaffery, who played ball at the University of Iowa and is now an assistant coach at Butler University in Indianapolis.
Well, he didn’t play exactly like Clark, who came first in the 2024 WNBA draft. Others also certainly didn’t recognize McCaffery’s skills. As an athlete and as a partner.
“You have the incredible ability to inspire and lift people around you. I’m lucky to learn from you every day,” he wrote on Instagram.
