Basil Postlethwaite is the Minister of Education who once attend Little Bombay High School in his youth.
He was a huge fan of football and was told numerous times to not to kick the ball in the hallway. Because he wouldn't listen, he eventual broke the trophy case. In a panic, he hid one of the trophies to make it look like a theft rather than being caught for destruction of property.
The blame was quickly put on Mr. Cubbins, who happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
