BASKETBALL Australia mismanagement meant the QBL tipped off last weekend with 20 imports unable to suit up.

Someone at the federation either forgot or misunderstood the Queensland League was getting  underway, pertinent paperwork left undone.

BA chief executive officer Anthony Moore today said: "We apologise profusely, even though that's far from adequate.

"We missed it.

"We didn't get back to it and that had a significant impact.

"It's highly regrettable but we definitely dropped the ball on that one and we have to wear it."

Um. Yep.
