<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <div class="bi">Behind The Bench</div> <div> <span style="font-style: italic">Oct 16</span> - This offseason, Spurs returned all 12 players who were active during last year's playoffs, plus added a semi-major free-agent acquisition in Ime Udoka -- who they would like to play. Only 12 of those 13 players can be active for any given game this season.</p> </p> Right now, it's looking like Beno Udrih will be the one in a sports coat instead of a uniform for opening night against Portland. And if the Spurs ever get comfortable with Manu Ginobili as a viable emergency No. 3 point guard, the more likely it becomes that Beno will remain behind the bench instead of on it. -- <font color="#000000">San Antonio Express-News</font></p></div></div>
