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.

Three refs for a fourth-grade basketball game? One would be enough.

What is the additive IQ of the three?
Save this stuff for the ride home fellas.
“What is the additive IQ of the three?”
Just barely high enough to watch those Tik Tok fight videos.
Bailed from the area in 1981.

You forgot the “Oh, wait...”
This was fourth grade level sports. It just displays the level of games when the officials are doing exactly what they are trained to prevent and expected to control. These officials must have just been pulled off the streets and given uniforms. The school system should cancel the association contract, if there is one, and bar the offending officials from campus for the rest of the year, at least. National Federation puts into their rulebooks identifying tips on how to recognize an escalation of non-sport violence and these officials are a display of one of the things wrong with precollege contests.

Imagine my shock...
Well, we know it wasn’t racially motivated, but what was it motivated by? We will never know I suppose.
Those kicks were fast as lightning!
Sportsmanship in action.
