I've practiced with a little different technique.
I straddle a line with a marker of some sort (volleyball anchor cover, outlet cover, paint, the intersection of another line, etc.) in a specific spot. I start the toss directly above the marker. My goal is to have the ball land directly on the spot. If it lands on the line but a little off the mark, it's still and acceptable toss. If it lands off the line, by a little, it's still pretty good. More then 3-4 inches is starting to be worthy of a retoss.
This method requires much greater accuracy than using a hoop. If you go up all the way on one side, it is possible for the ball to have moved nearly 9 inches by the time it comes back down and still go through. If you do that, by the time it hits the floor, it will be WAY off. The spot on the floor amplifies the measurement of the error.
You could do this with a spot on the floor directly below the hoop in order to get the better accuracy and use the hoop for height reference.
