You would have a variety of controls. For example, you should always use the same ball to shoot containing the same amount of air, the same basketball hoop at the same height from the ground, and the distance from the hoop whenever you shoot. If possible, you should also try to keep the weather in which you shoot the same, and try to keep the amount of wind consistent, but if you can't because of limited time to take data, it shouldn't make that much of a difference. These are all things that should be kept the same in the experiment, because the only thing you would be changing your shooting technique, and measuring your accuracy.
