It was a real Rumble in the Bronx.
A pair of elite New York girls AAU basketball coaches traded vicious blows with each other — and two of their teenaged players — in a wild Sunday fracas at Fordham University’s Rose Hill Gym, witnesses told The Post.
The basketbrawl at the aptly named “Rumble in the Bronx” tournament erupted in the handshake line after the Nike-sponsored Lady Gauchos under-16 team defeated the Exodus Swagga squad in a playoff contest.
Losing Exodus coach Lenair “Dinero” Young punched Gauchos coach Earl Elliotte after Elliotte cursed Exodus players in the line, sources said.
Exodus player Tamara Jones said Gauchos coach Elliotte then punched her in the face — and later kicked her in the head as she fell to the ground in the melee.
“I don’t know if I was unconscious, but at one point I could not get off the floor,” Jones said.
Meanwhile, Guachos player Shakila Small was punched in the face by Exodus coach Young, according to Small’s dad, Anderson Straker.
“Sometimes you lose your temper, but it should never get to the point where you hit a kid,” Straker said. “[Young] shouldn’t be a coach.”
Sources connected to the two nationally-recognized teams said police were called but no arrests were made.
Straker said his daughter filed a police report and intends to press charges against Young.
Jones, who said her face was swollen and filled with scratches, yesterday said she plans to press charges against Elliotte.
The NYPD said it had no record of any complaints.
Elliotte declined comment, citing potential legal action.
Young denied he hit the teenaged Small. He admitted to punching Elliotte, but said it was after Elliotte struck Jones in the face.
“At no point ever did I put my hand on a kid,” Young said.
The unsportsmanlike conduct got both hotheaded coaches banned from the Fordham contest next year, said tournament director Chris Oden.
This was the first year girls’ teams had been allowed to play in the longstanding boys’ tourney.
“Our tournament rules are very clear regarding fighting,” said Oden. “It’s not tolerated.”
One Exodus parent, who requested anonymity, said the incident was a result of “two immature coaches.”
She said she wants to keep her daughter in the Exodus program but doesn’t want Young to coach her.
“You put your kids on a team and you’re supposed to be leaving them with a trusted adult,” she said. “I don’t know what either organization is going to do, but they have to do something.”
“We 100 percent have to discipline him,” Exodus director Apache Paschall said of Young, though he added that he doesn’t think the coach struck the teenaged Small.
