State championship-winning Beech Grove basketball coach Mike Renfro is suspended from his teaching and coaching positions “pending further investigation” following his arrest Sunday in Henry County.
Renfro, 45, faces two felony charges — one for dealing cocaine between one and five grams and another for possession of cocaine. He also faces misdemeanor charges for operating a vehicle while intoxicated and public intoxication
Renfro, a former star basketball player at Beech Grove who went on to play at Hofstra under Jay Wright, led Beech Grove to a Class 3A state title last season. It was a scene seemingly made for Hollywood after Renfro, a former assistant under Matt English, took over the program in 2018 when English died after a battle with brain cancer.
Renfro led the Hornets to sectional titles in his first three seasons before breaking through last year and leading Beech Grove to its first state championship in program history. Renfro was named the Marion County coach of the year.
