Three Colorado refs brawl at fourth-graders basketball game in wild video

These referees need to be hit with technical fouls.

Three refs at a Colorado youth basketball game threw punches and tackled each other in the middle of a court surrounded by horrified onlookers, shocking video shows.

The brawl broke out during the fourth quarter of a fourth-grade boys’ game between Cherry Creek and Legend Blue on Saturday morning at the Gold Crown Field House in Lakewood, according to a clip of the live-streamed game posted online.

Two of the refs walk toward each other aggressively as one of them takes a swing before a third runs over and tackles one of the pair to the ground — all within a few feet of young players, the footage shows.

“Oh my goodness,” a man off-camera exclaims as a young player about to receive a pass backs off the court and covers his mouth in shock.

Two men in plain clothes run onto the court to break it up. One holds a ref back as the two other refs wrestle on the floor.

The pair on the floor get up and square off with each holding their fists up before more bystanders — it’s unclear if they are parents or coaches — step in to stop the fighting, according to the clip.

A fourth ref, who was not involved in the brawl, also tries to amend the peace.

A woman behind the scorekeeping table can also be seen in the clip jogging over to one team of kids to shield them from the violent scene.

No one was seriously hurt during the squabble and “no children, coaches or parents were directly involved,” according to the Gold Crown Foundation, which provides youth sports programs.

The three referees involved were suspended from the league.

“Through our in-house camera system we were able to identify everyone involved and our staff removed all three officials from the premises,” the foundation said in a statement to The Post. “We have informed these independently contracted officials that they are suspended indefinitely from working for Gold Crown Foundation.”

The organization apologized to all who had to witness the “unacceptable behavior — especially the kids.”

“This is an unfortunate reminder that we all need to keep the kids’ best interest in mind and that our adult behavior plays a pivotal role in youth sports,” Gold Crown said. “Let this also be a reminder to everyone that Gold Crown has zero tolerance for any adult behavior that puts the kids’ experience or safety at risk.”
