Siena Athletics Hall of Fame
McCaffery led Siena Men’s Basketball to its most decorated five-year run in program history, which culminated with the Saints being the only NCAA Division I program to win both their regular season and tournament championships from three consecutive years from 2008-10. He amassed a 112-51 (.687) overall record from 2005-10, including a 68-22 (.756) mark in the MAAC. McCaffery guided Siena to four straight 20-win seasons and MAAC Tournament Championship Game appearances to conclude his tenure in Loudonville, and became the first coach in MAAC history to pilot their program to multiple NCAA Tournament victories in leading the Saints to First Round wins over Vanderbilt (2008) and Ohio State (2009). The 2009-10 NABC District I Coach of the Year and 2008-09 MAAC Coach of the Year, he led Siena to school record-tying 27-win seasons in each of his last two years that the helm, which included a program record 15-game winning streak in his final campaign.
McCaffery both recruited and coached four fellow Siena Athletics Hall of Famers (Kenny Hasbrouck ’09, HOF ’14; Alex Franklin ’10, HOF ’15; Ryan Rossiter ’11, HOF ’16; Ronald Moore ’12, HOF ’17) and three of the top-five scorers in program history. He brought in arguably the greatest class in school history in the Class of 2010, which was the winningest class in program history with 97 victories and was the only group to win 20 or more games in all four years and three MAAC Championships. McCaffery has led each of the four programs he has coached to the NCAA Tournament, and is currently the head coach at the University of Iowa.
