Anne Donovan Resigns As Storm Coach

Yikes. The Seattle Storm announced today that Anne Donovan has resigned her position as the team's head coach:

After five seasons as head coach of the Seattle Storm, Anne Donovan today announced her resignation. Donovan informed Storm Chief Operating Officer Karen Bryant that she will not return for the 2008 season. Donovan has one year remaining on her three-year contract.

I'm saddened, but not terribly surprised. The Storm have never really recaptured the magic of 2004's championship run, and the ongoing saga over the team's final home (Seattle? Oklahoma City?) put a dark cloud over the team's future. It's hard to be exited about building a franchise when you don't even know if it'll be around in a year, and Anne's got plenty of options.

Thanks for a great few seasons, Ms. Donovan. You'll be missed.
