Ten baskets can describe very different sessions
You made ten practice shots. Was that ten out of twelve, or ten out of forty? A total of made shots leaves out the attempts. If you want a useful basketball practice note, record both. The goal is not to turn a casual shootaround into an exam. It is to keep the number from telling a story it cannot support.
Give each group a clear label
Choose a few locations or tasks appropriate to your session and keep their results separate. Note whether a shot followed a pass, a dribble, or a stationary start. Those conditions do not need to be identical forever, but you should know when they changed. A percentage from one location should not quietly become a score for every kind of shot.
Use the number as a question
Ask your coach what the record suggests practicing next. A single day is a small sample, not a verdict on your ability. Keep comments factual: "three of eight from this spot" is useful without adding "always" or "never." Counting attempts gives the result a denominator, the bottom number in a fraction. That unglamorous number is often the part that makes the rest of the practice log worth reading.
