McCaffery and Clark started dating in April 2023 when the two were still at the University of Iowa. They both played on their respective basketball teams. A month after they began dating, McCaffery joined the Indiana Pacers as an assistant.
Following his time with the Pacers, McCaffery found himself on Thad Matta’s staff at Butler University. He started with Matta in September 2024 and was with the Bulldogs when they competed in the College Basketball Crown postseason tournament.
