New York Liberty president and general manager Carol Blazejowski announced today that Anne Donovan has been named assistant coach. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"It is a rare and significant moment for any organization when someone of Anne Donovan's caliber joins its coaching staff, and it is particularly true for the Liberty today," said Blazejowski. "With Patty at the helm, Anne's decades of winning experience and a deep and talented roster, we feel we have assembled the components we need to pursue our ultimate goal - bringing New York the WNBA championship it so richly deserves."

A Ridgewood, New Jersey native, Donovan's primary responsibilities with the Liberty will include assisting head coach Pat Coyle in player development, game preparation and scouting, as well as planning practices and individual player workouts.

"It is very exciting to have the opportunity to return to the east coast and join the Liberty family," said Donovan. "Since the league's inception, I have been impressed with how well this organization has been run and I look forward to assisting Pat in putting the most prepared and competitive team on the floor each night."
