Suspensions
[edit]James Kinney, the team's leading scorer, was suspended twice in the season for violating team rules: once for the December 22, 2012 game against James Madison and again beginning with the January 11, 2013 game against Utah State.[5][6] On February 8, coach Nessman confirmed that Kinney's suspension would continue until the end of the season; the San Jose Mercury News reported that the suspension "is believed to be related to academics."[7] After Kinney's second suspension, San Jose State's scoring average went down 15 points to 49.8, and the team never won a game for the rest of the season.[7]
Starting forward Louis Garrett was also indefinitely suspended on January 11 for a violation of team rules but was reinstated on January 24.[6][8]
Two more players were suspended after Kinney. Chris Jones was suspended beginning February 28, and Alex Brown was suspended beginning March 2.[6][9] Jones was suspended after San Jose State student newspaper The Spartan Daily published a comment of his saying that Nessman "should have been fired a long time ago."[9][10]
