It's the Heathcoate-Izzo succession model. Announce the retirement and the successor (the lead assistant) a year in advance to smooth out the transition and provide stability.
Izzo was 40 years old and had been an assistant at Michigan State for 12 years when he took over.
If Scheyer is K's successor, he'll have been an assistant for eight years and will be 35 years old when he takes over.
So it's not that far off.
