Not affiliated with the Pittsburgh Steelers, so that argument won’t really fly in the area.

This is just too good.

West Virginia men’s basketball coach John Beilein was cited Tuesday for disorderly conduct at Pittsburgh International Airport after he refused a police officer’s command to move his vehicle and berated the officer, authorities said.

Beilein, 53, also was issued a parking ticket for leaving his vehicle in a “No Parking” area outside the terminal, said Allegheny County police Superintendent Charles Moffatt.

The coach was allowed to leave after being cited, Moffatt said.

…

An officer spotted Beilein’s vehicle parked illegally about 1:35 p.m. and told him he had to move, Moffatt said.

Beilein refused and started berating the officer, saying that he didn’t have to move the vehicle because he was the West Virginia basketball coach, Moffatt said.

The disturbance drew a crowd, and Beilein was given the citation and parking ticket, Moffatt said.

Beilein disputed the police account.

“The information contained in the citation is an inaccurate representation of the events at the Pittsburgh airport,” he said in a statement released through the university.
