International basketball provides compelling evidence with compelling examples. In 2015, Andrei Kirilenko became president of the Russian Basketball Federation at 34, only two months after ending an illustrious playing career. He inherited a federation suspended by FIBA over institutional and legal problems. His election demonstrated that a younger basketball insider could be entrusted with institutional reform at a critical moment.
