Two high school basketball coaches in Tishomingo, Oklahoma have been fired from Tishomingo High School after using a school bus to go buy alcohol.

The two men purchased beer during an out-of-town trip with the team, according to KFOR:

“It sort of just disappointed us all,” basketball player Kyle Miller told reporters.

The team was at a basketball camp at Connors State College in nearby Warner, Oklahoma, about two and a half hours from home. While there, the beer run took place at a local convenience store.

What the coaches did was completely wrong, but they were smart enough to not bring minors along for the ride with them.

“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,” Miller said.

If the players didn’t know where the coaches were going and the coaches didn’t bring anyone along, how exactly did Tishomingo High School officials find out? According to KXII, someone who worked at the convenience store reported the coaches to officials at Connors State.

When Tishomingo school officials found out about the incident, the coaches were fired and the team returned home.

“We were pretty upset because we paid money out of pocket to go to that camp, because we had to stay for three nights and we had to end up leaving on the second day,” Miller said.

Miller has a point while the coaches do not. If they wanted beer that badly, they probably could’ve found a different way to get it that didn’t involve them losing their jobs.
