NEW YORK — Are NBA owners obligated to pay guaranteed contracts during a lockout? That's the $800 million question to be argued today in the league's latest labor skirmish.
SPORTS AND SCORES
Players want salaries during NBA lockout
Arbitrator John Feerick, who ruled

in the Latrell Sprewell case, will hold a grievance hearing at 10 a.m. today on the union's contention that owners are liable to pay salaries to 220 players with guaranteed contracts for the upcoming season. NBA
ruling should come in early September.
"It's not our policy to comment on matters of pending litigation, but we have said before that the law is very clear that employees don't get paid during a lockout. That's our view," NBA chief legal officer Jeffrey Mishkin said yesterday.
There is no precedent for locked-out athletes demanding to be paid, so there will be no professional sports precedent for Feerick to use.
During the summer-long professional baseball lockout of 1995, players who missed paychecks did not file a grievance. Nor did NHL hockey players who were locked out for the first three months of the 1994-95 season.
The union is expected to argue that owners should have protected themselves by inserting lockout language into individual player contracts as baseball owners routinely do.
"These players are supposed to be paid under those contracts in virtually all circumstances," said a source close to the union, who asked not to be identified. "It (standard player contract) says you can't test positive for cocaine, you can't be out of shape. It says all kinds of things that can get the owners out of their obligation to pay. But it never says anything about a lockout."
Still, the winning side should have increased leverage when talks resume on a collective bargaining agreement to replace the one that expired July 1, the day the lockout began.
The players filed the grievance with Feerick on June 30, a few hours before the lockout commenced, claiming the owners committed an anticipatory breach of contract by announcing June 29 that they would not pay players during the lockout.
If the players were to win, there's still a chance that Feerick's verdict would not be the final word. The league has sued the union over this matter in federal court, so any award could be put on hold.
Most players are not due to receive their first paychecks until Nov. 15, but a handful were supposed to be paid this summer.
Commissioner David Stern, in his comments after the Sprewell verdict was released, was notably harsh in his criticism of Feierick, the dean of Fordham University's law school.
tract and reducing his suspension by 5 1/2 months after he attacked and choked Golden State Warriors coach P.J. Carlesimo at practice last December.
The NBA thought it had seen the last of Feerick in March when the arbitrator ruled against the league in the Sprewell case, reinstating the final three years of the player's con-
Leaguewide, guaranteed contracts for the 1998-99 season add up to about $800 million.
Feerick's term as the NBA's official arbitrator ended July 1, but he cited the union's last-minute filing in ruling last month that he has jurisdiction in this case.
Rather than having the hearing held amid the bad karma of the Sprewell Room at the offices of the union's lawyers, it is being held a few blocks downtown at the offices of the league's firm.
It was used again last month during the last formal bargaining session when Stern and the owners, after being amused by Karl Malone's bargaining etiquette (he shouted down everyone in the room so Suns owner Jerry Colangelo could be heard), walked out upon hearing the latest proposal from the union.
Lawyers for the league had at least one thing going for them as arguments were set to begin.
The Sprewell Room was the conference room used for the Sprewell hearing.
The season is scheduled to start Nov. 4, so a new agreement is likely needed by mid-October in order to prevent the NBA from losing its perfect record of never having lost a game to labor strife.
No new talks are scheduled, and none should be expected until after Feerick has ruled.
Basketball coach to return to Kansas

sidered the front runner.
Dougherty graduated from Cameron in 1984 after attending the United States Military Academy and playing two years of basketball at Duke University. He started several games as a freshman and was a full-time starter his sophomore year.
Before Vanderbilt, Dougherty assisted at Drake and Cameron University in Oklahoma, his alma mater.

-Kansan staff report
Offensive line is improving
Continued from page 1B
After struggling through the 1997 season with an offensive line that was inexperienced, the linemen are more comfortable with each other and their positions.
"Now, we have a set group that has been playing with each other for a year now," Glasow said.
Dercher, who was a 1997 mid-season addition to the offensive line when he was moved from defense to offense, helped pick up the offense.
"Once I moved over, we started doing a little better on offense towards the end of the year," Dercher said. "I think I brought a little athleticism."
Klinker knows Dercher's addition has helped his lime.
"He's just reaching his peak of performance." Klinker said.
But all the kinks of last season have not worked themselves out just yet. When coach Terry Allen entered the Jayhawk program a year ago, he brought two things with him: Klinker, his 13-year offensive line coach, and a new offensive system.
After struggling last season, the line is beginning to adjust to the new system.
Klinker said, "Last year, we struggled with a lot of things, but they're becoming to understand our system. They are 200 percent better than they were a year ago."
"To be a good offensive line, right now, communication is our biggest problem," Glasgow said. "If we can play on the same page and get in one good blocking route, we'll be a good offensive line."
