Iowa Hawkeyes basketball star Caitlin Clark took another step towards the college women’s basketball scoring record with a 32.0 point effort against the Wisconsin Badgers, surpassing former Baylor center, Brittney Griner for fourth place.
While she was out breaking records, the father of her boyfriend Connor McCaffery, Fran, also broke one.
The senior McCaffery became the winningest coach in Iowa men’s basketball history with win No. 272 against the Minnesota Golden Gophers whom the Hawkeyes beat 86-77 on Monday evening.
Fran McCaffery surpassed former Iowa great, Tom Davis as the coach with the most wins, taking 14 seasons to achieve the feat. Caitlin Clark took to X highlighting her boyfriend’s father’s achievement and retweeting the post celebrating the record.
Fran McCaffery breaks two records in one week
It has been an eventful week for Fran McCaffery, as he first broke Iowa’s men’s basketball Big Ten win record when he recorded win No. 127 against Rutgers.
He beat the Scarlet Knights 86-77 to surpass Tom Davis’ 126 wins before breaking the overall win record later in the week. During his postgame news conference, McCaffery was typically modest and heaped praise on Davis and his players.
“Well, considering the amount of respect I have for that man and how long I’ve known him and the standard that he’s set for anybody that came after him, it’s a tremendous feeling.
“It’s also an indication, it’s indicative of, I have really good players. I have really good players with character,” McCaffery said.
