Sports
How we score is the same everywhere. What we score, we build with the coaches who run that sport.
Coaches decide what separates athletes in their game. Those become the categories. Under each one go the skills, and under each skill goes the stat that backs it up.
A framework isn't a basketball scorecard with new labels.
Every skill a coach scores is backed by a number, not an impression.
Basketball
2-point, 3-point, catch & shoot, off the dribble, free throws.
Ball control, both hands, pressure, penetration.
Court vision, assist ability, reading the floor.
Decision-making, shot selection, execution under fatigue.
Perimeter defense, rebounding, on-ball pressure.
Effort, coachability, communication, leadership.
ISO DNA™ Grade benchmarks: D1 High-Major, D1 Mid-Major and D2, by position.
Soccer
A keeper and a forward get measured against completely different stat sets, so a starter and a sub can be compared honestly.
First touch, short passing, long passing, ball striking, one-v-one.
Finishing, chance creation, movement off the ball.
Duels won, pressing, recovery runs, positional discipline.
Distance covered, sprint load, work rate across 90.
Shot stopping, distribution, command of the area, sweeping.
Effort, coachability, communication, leadership.
Led by Walter Bustamante, ISO Soccer™.
Pilot framework. Categories are being refined with the coaches running the pilot, and college benchmarks are being set by position.
Cricket
A seamer, a spinner and an opening batter share almost no statistics, so each discipline is measured against its own set.
Technique, shot range, strike rotation, playing pace, playing spin.
Line & length, pace or turn, variation, economy under pressure.
Catching, ground fielding, throwing arm, positional awareness.
Glovework, standing up, take rate, game reading.
Situation reading, partnership building, game management.
Effort, coachability, communication, leadership.
Draft framework. Categories are being confirmed with the coaches who run the sport, and there is no ISO DNA™ Grade yet: cricket has no US college benchmark ladder to measure against.
Volleyball
A libero and a middle blocker never touch the same stat sheet, so each position is measured against its own set.
Kills, hitting percentage, shot selection, tooling the block.
Aces, service errors, zone control.
Serve receive, digs, court coverage.
Assists, set location, tempo, decision-making.
Block touches, stuff blocks, read & footwork.
Effort, coachability, communication, leadership.
Draft framework. Categories are being confirmed with the coaches who run the sport, and college benchmarks are still being set by position.
Pickleball
Singles and doubles ask for different things, so a player is measured against the format they actually play.
Serve depth, placement, spin, return depth.
Dink consistency, third-shot drop, resets under pressure.
Drives, speed-ups, put-aways, overheads.
Kitchen positioning, blocks, hands battles, volleys.
Footwork, transition to the line, partner spacing.
Effort, coachability, communication, leadership.
Draft framework. Categories are being confirmed with the coaches who run the sport, and there is no ISO DNA™ Grade yet: pickleball has no US college benchmark ladder to measure against.
