Report: Oklahoma high school basketball coaches fired for buying booze in a school bus

Two coaches from Tishomongo, Oklahoma were fired for using a school bus to go and get booze while on an out-of-town trip. The coaches were with the team in Warner, Oklahoma, two and a half hours away for a basketball camp at Connor State College.

No one knew why they'd taken the bus initially, but the coaches were reported by an employee working at the convenience store they made the run to.

Players on the team were upset about the incident, as they were forced to leave the three-day camp on the second day. "It sort of just disappointed us all," Kyle Miller, a player on the team, told KFOR, "We noticed that the school bus was gone but he had told us to stay in our dorms and so we proceeded to do that and we just didn't find anything out until the next day.
