Things got so intense between referees at a youth basketball game in Colorado that they ended up throwing punches in front of a bunch of kids … and now police tell TMZ Sports <\/strong>they’re investigating the melee.<\/p>\n The ugly scene, which was captured on video, went down during a 4th-grade boys hoops game — Cherry Creek vs. Legend Blue — over the weekend at the Gold Crown Field House in Lakewood, CO.<\/p>\n The clip clearly shows two referees square up on the court after some type of disagreement … when one of the refs throws a massive right hook, knockin’ down the other official.<\/p>\n The ref attempted to throw more punches, but was held back by bystanders.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ref who was dropped eventually got up … but he wasn’t done fighting. The man then got into a stand-off with another<\/em> official … but thankfully no punches were thrown this time.<\/p>\n We talked to Lakewood Police … who told us they’re aware of the situation, but haven’t yet made any arrests because “the involved parties had already left the gym” by the time they arrived on scene.<\/p>\n Thankfully, no one was injured during the fight, according to the Gold Crown Foundation … which also tells us all the referees have been suspended indefinitely.<\/p>\n “We have informed these independently contracted officials that they are suspended indefinitely from working for Gold Crown Foundation,” GCF told us in a statement.<\/p>\n “Most importantly we apologize to everyone that had to witness their unacceptable behavior – especially the kids.”<\/p>\n They continued … “We look forward to getting our league back on track, and resume what will be a great season for the kids.”<\/p>\n
