To say that Anne Donovan's interim stint as coach hasn't gone exactly as planned would be an understatement. Since taking over on July 31, Donovan has led the Liberty to a 6-9 record -- or nearly the same record that Pat Coyle had led the team to before she was fired. Given that -- and the fact a recent three-game slide that would effectively eliminated the Liberty from postseason contention -- maybe this team needs to stop heaping the blame for its dismal play on the coaching staff and turn a more critical eye toward management, in particular general manager Carol Blazejowski.

Coming up: 9/10 at Detroit; 9/13 vs. Washington
