George Raymond Nessman II (born March 22, 1959) is an American athletic administrator and former college basketball coach who is the current athletic director at Justin-Siena High School. Nessman coached at the high school and community college levels before becoming an assistant basketball coach at California in 2004. From 2005 to 2013, Nessman was the men's basketball head coach at San Jose State. He was also athletic director at Porterville College from 1995 to 2001 while also serving as men's basketball head coach.
Nessman was born in Stamford, Connecticut and moved to the Bay Area when he was nine. Nessman graduated from De La Salle High School in Concord, California in 1977. Nessman received his Bachelor of Arts degree in social welfare from the University of California, Berkeley in 1981 and later two master's degrees: from San Francisco State University (1988, education) and from Saint Mary's College of California (1995, physical education and recreation).
Nessman began coaching at the high school level after graduating from Berkeley: from 1981 to 1984, he coached cross country running and track and field at Salesian High School in Richmond, California.
From 1984 to 1993, he coached varsity basketball at De La Salle High School in Concord, California. The De La Salle basketball team under Nessman had a 155-40 record, one section and five conference championships, and four appearances in the NorCal tournament, including a runner-up finish in 1993. Jon Barry and Brent Barry, the sons of Rick Barry who would later play in the National Basketball Association, played at De La Salle under Nessman.
