The referees, dressed in white NBA jackets, circled the Garden lobby during the first quarter, drawing cheers from the fans. Veteran referee Jack Mad den then tried to lead the offi cials down to courtside, but security police asked them to leave. They did without inci dent. The referees have not work ed any exhibition games and have been replaced with substi tutes by the league. Another veteran referee holding a picket sign before the Boston Celtics- Milwaukee Bucks game was Jake O’Donnell. “The league made a decision to lock us out,” Rush said. “Un fortunately, to quote one of their owners, they want to bring us to our knees. What they’re saying is that we’re not worth it and we can be replaced.” Union counsel Richie Phillips, who also represents major league baseball umpires, told the fans they would not be seeing a “first-class” basketball game because of the referees’ walkout. “We’re here to bring the mes sage to the fans — they’re the ultimate consumer,” Phillips said. “Once the league recog nizes the contributions referees make, they’ll sit down and talk.” On Tuesday, representatives for the NBA and the referees’ union met for 3 V2 hours in New York but no substantial progress was made in the ongoing dis pute. The NBA said it increased its playoff salary proposal by 50 percent, but said there was little or no movement on the part of the union.

That Denny contrasted sharply with the one who came to the Phillies late in the 1982 season following a 6-11 year with Gleveland and then went 0-2 while refusing to speak to the press. ‘‘My attitude was full of hatred and bitterness,” he said. “But I realized during the play offs (against the Los Angeles Dodgers last month) that that was a wrong attitude and I tried to change.
