It's rare in sport, even more so in football, for someone to stand up and admit they were wrong. So respect is due to the Bermuda Football Association for issuing an apology to Andrew Bascome and his fellow Under-18 coaches yesterday. Bascome was furious after the BFA turned down his request to postpone his Under-18 game on Sunday after six of his players were involved in the schools finals on Saturday night. He had a point. Still, it would have been tempting for the association to escalate the conflict with a coach who is understood to be in line for the national job. Instead they did the right thing and in a refreshing break from tradition said sorry. End of story.
