aside from the 04-05 finals when he couldnt bring the ball up.
this season. when he got the ball stuck between the rim and the backboard.. during junk minutes. that was it for him.

The sad thing is that Beno is so highly skilled. He just has no motivation to succeed.
He's already retired at this point, the Spurs are just stuck with his contract.
Doesn't matter -- It's all good.

Thats the shame, and story, of beno udrih right there.
This is the first post in a long time that has triggered any kind of sympathy for Beno in me.
Those are powers of nature...
Ladies and gentlemen, I do believe we have our line for the day...
it was before the 05 finals
against seattle in the playoffs
he let luke ridnour, do the same ing move, shoot from the same spot, wide ing open and swish like 6 jumpers in 5 minutes
that was the end of his career
But I'm not a Latina...ploto...
unfortunately
It's always gonna be my opinion that Popovich ruined Beno with his constant ass-chewing every time Beno made the slightest mistake. Some players respond well to that kind of coaching, but others don't. Pop takes an in-your-face approach to young players who make mistakes. Just ask Tony Parker. I think Beno took a "to with you then" at ude after one too many ass chewings. Popovich is a good coach, but I think he needs to realize that not every young player is gonna respond positively to his military style approach.
His love of breakfast tacos and Latinas was supposedly his downfall.

breakfast tacos will do ya...... I had some barbacoa and some bean and bacon this monrning. I still ain;t right. I need another nap.
Very good point, but that 'military-style approach' seems to be what has made Pop so effective with this team. What other Spurs have praised about Pop is that he approaches everyone the same way, whether it be Tim or an inactive reserve - he won't hesitate to ream out anyone who messes up. Abandoning that approach because one player may not respond to it well would damage that sense of fairness you would get playing under Pop.
I think this is also why the franchise has been so selective about getting rookies and young free agents on the team - it seems to be easier to find players who can buy ino Pop's system and coaching style rather than finding another coach who can effectively and consistently get his message across to the entire team. There is a reason Pop and Sloan have stayed as long as they have.
Obviously the Detroit 05' Finals made him look so bad. The Pistons defense was just that good against some young nobody. He is very inconsistent since. The reasons are obvious.
His love for his myspace page was also his downfall.
Beno.
It's personal between the two of us.
He implied that I was overweight and couldn't run down a basketball court once. That bas .
As true is that statement was, it hurt.

If that's the case, the Spurs don't need a pussy like that on their team. Tim is the superstar on the team and still gets that from Pop. Why should he treat a ing scrub like Beno better than that?
You must be watching a different Spurs team. Pop has been as nice and understanding to Beno has humanly possible. He has yelled at him over his career about 1/100th the amount he yelled at Parker in Parker first couple seasons. Pop has given Beno every chance in the world to succeed.
As he, Buford and other coaches have said, they've tried everything with Beno. They've tried yelling. They've tried ignoring him. But mostly, they've tried babying him ... and nothing has worked.
Beno didn't get fat and lazy due to bad coaching. He just doesn't have the drive to be great. That was the knock on him coming to the United States as it turned out to be true. Beno peaked at age 16. Since then, it's been a constant struggle to get him to care about basketball.
He got himself in shape enough to get drafted and enjoy a good first half of his rookie season. However, at that point, Beno went back to being the Beno that Europe knew. He got fat, lazy and stopped working.
Coaching has nothing to do with that.
Maybe Beno will get himself in shape for a contract drive year. Naahhhh.
