Two high school boys basketball coaches in Oklahoma lost their jobs after driving a school bus to a convenience store to buy beer.

A Tishomingo High School board member told KXII-TV the incident occurred while the team was attending a basketball camp at Connors State College in Warner, Okla. Connors State officials notified Tishomingo after being tipped off by a store clerk.

"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," basketball player Kyle Miller said.

Connors State doesn't allow alcohol on campus.
