HEAD COACH FRAN McCAFFERY

Fran McCaffery, who is signed through the 2024 season, is in his 1th season as the head basketball coach at the University of Iowa and his 25th year overall as a college head coach. McCaffery has reached the 20-win plateau nine of the last 13 seasons, including four of the last six years.

McCaffery spent five seasons (2005-10) as the head coach at Siena, six years at UNC-Greensboro (1999-2005) and three seasons at Lehigh (1985-88) before joining the Hawkeyes.

McCaffery has over three decades of Division I coaching experience. He concluded his 38th season as a collegiate coach in 2020, which includes 24 years as a head coach and 14 as an assistant. McCaffery is one of 14 coaches to lead at least four different Division I teams to the NCAA Tournament.

McCaffery, 61, holds a career mark of 457-324 (.585) and guided his teams to 12 postseason appearances (nine NCAA & four NIT). Iowa likely would have competed in another NCAA Tournament in 2020, if not for the NCAA canceling the postseason due to COVID-19. He is 206-147 (.584) at Iowa; the second winningest coach in program history. McCaffery led Iowa to wins in three of the last five NCAA Tournaments (2015, 2016, and 2019).

Since taking over the Iowa program in 2010, Iowa has earned seven postseason tournament berths (4 NCAA, 3 NIT). McCaffery coached Iowa to 25 victories in 2013, equaling the second-most win total in program history. McCaffery has guided five different first team honorees over the last seven years, including the 2020 National and Big Ten Player of the Year, Luka Garza.

McCaffery has posted upper division finishes in seven of the last eight seasons at Iowa and 19 of 24 seasons as a head coach. He has posted 20 wins or more 10 of the last 14 seasons, including six of the last eight years at Iowa (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2019, and 2020). Iowa's 163 victories between 201319 are the most over an eight-year span at Iowa since 1987-94.

McCaffery and the Hawkeyes boast a 110-29 (.791) home record the last eight seasons, which includes a school-record 18 wins in 2014 and 13 consecutive victories in 2019-20.

McCaffery's five years at Siena were the best in its 70-year history. He led the Saints on an incredible run that ended with three straight Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championships and NCAA Tournament appearances.

McCaffery's Saints owned a 112-51 (.687) record in his five years with the program. He guided the Saints to four consecutive 20-win seasons. McCaffery's achievements earned the head coach Siena Hall of Fame recognition in 2017.

The 2009 MAAC Coach of the Year and 2010 District I Coach of the Year is the third winningest coach, by percentage, in league history (68-22, .756). He is the only coach to guide a MAAC program to two NCAA Tournament wins. McCaffery led his 2008 and 2009 teams to first round NCAA Tournament victories over Vanderbilt and Ohio State, respectively.

In his final two seasons at Siena, he coached the Saints to back-to-back 27win campaigns and boasted a combined 39-3 (.929) record against MAAC opponents, which included MAAC Tournament contests.

McCaffery began his coaching career as an assistant at Penn (1982-83) and Lehigh (1983-85). After three seasons as head coach at Lehigh, he spent 11 seasons as an assistant at Notre Dame (1988-99).

McCaffery played basketball at Wake Forest his freshman year (1977-78) and then concluded his collegiate playing career at Penn his final three seasons (1979-82).

He earned his B.S. degree in Economics from The Wharton School (Penn) in 1982. McCaffery also earned a Master of Education from Lehigh in 1985.

2020-21 IOWA CAPTAINS

Iowa captains are Jordan Bohannon, Luka Garza, Connor McCaffery, and Joe Wieskamp.

LUKA GARZA CONTINUES WHERE HE LEFT OFF ? Became Iowa's all-time scoring leader in Big Ten games after his 33-point effort versus Min-

nesota (Jan. 10). Garza now has 1,180 points in regular season Big Ten games, surpassing Roy Marble (1,113). Garza has tallied 218 points in nine Big Ten games this season; 496 in 20 games in 2019-20; 243 in 19 contests in 2018-19; and 223 in 18 games in 2017-18. ? After passing 10 former players on Iowa's all-time scoring chart this season. Garza needs 135 points to surpass Roy Marble to become Iowa's scoring leader. ? Luka Garza is one of just five players from major conferences, since 1992, to average 25+ points and 8+ rebounds (KSU's Michael Beasley, 2008; Texas' Kevin Durant, 2007; UConn's Donyell Marshall, 1994; Purdue's Glenn Robinson, 1994). ? One of only two players in the country (Notre Dame's Nate Laszewski) to shoot at least 60 percent on FGAs and 45 percent on 3FGAs, with at least 25 made 3-pointers; Garza has more than double the field goals made and attempted as Laszewski. ? Luka Garza tallied 18 points against Northwestern (Dec. 29), halting his streak of scoring 20+ points at 18 straight Big Ten games, dating back to last season. His 18-game streak is the longest by any player against a Big Ten team in over three decades. ? Reached the 30-point plateau six times this season. No other player in Division I has more than four such games this season. Garza has topped 30 points 11 career times, second most in program history trailing only John Johnson (13). Garza has topped 22 points an NCAA-best 11 times this season. ? Shot 70 percent or better from the field in six games in 2020-21, including 80 percent or better in four games (93% vs. Southern; 93% vs. Iowa State; 80% vs. Northern Illinois; 80% at Rutgers). ? Twice has been named Big Ten Player of the Week this season (Nov. 30 and Dec. 14). Garza was named Co-Big Ten Player of the Week after averaging 24.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in wins over No. 16 North Carolina, Iowa State, and Northern Illinois. Garza was named Big Ten Player of the Week after averaging 33.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks in victories over N.C. Central and Southern. ? Garza scored 44 points at Michigan (Dec. 7, 2019) and 41 points versus Southern University (Nov. 27, 2020). He is one of two players in program history to score 40 points or more in two games in a career (John Johnson, 49 and 46). ? Tallied 102 points in three games; that is the most points by any Division I player over his first three games of a season since Davidson's Stephen Curry had 106 in 2008-09. ? Garza is the only Division I player in the last 25 years to score 100+ points on 75.0 percent shooting over any 3-game span. The last NBA player to accomplish that over a 3-game span was Shaquille O'Neal in January, 1996. ? Torched Southern University for 41 points, nine rebounds, and three blocks. Garza netted 36 first-half points, which is believed to be the most points scored by a Hawkeye in a half in program history. In the first half, Garza made all 12 field-goal attempts and was 10-of-12 from the free throw line. ? His 41 points are the most points scored by a Hawkeye in a single-game in CarverHawkeye Arena history (1983), besting 36 scored by Adam Haluska (2006) and Rob Griffin (2000). The arena record is 45 points by Brian Quinnett of Washington State in a neutral site contest contested against Loyola Marymount (1986). ? Finished the Southern University contest with a .933 field goal percentage (14-of-15), including a perfect 1.000 (3-of-3) from 3-point range, which is the best single-game mark by a Big Ten player since 1984 (Minnesota's Tommy Davis, 15-of-16, at Indiana). ? Scored a game-high 32 points and snagged a season-best 17 rebounds at Minnesota. ? Posted a double-double (16 points and 14 rebounds) to go along with a season-high four blocks against No. 16 North Carolina.
