My pet peeve is officials waving off the shot after a foul is committed and not allowing the "continuation".
I have seen countless examples over the past year of a shooter having begun his "motion" and then the official waving the shot off "on the floor!"
Aaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
One game example....
The shooter drove to the basket, picked up the ball in his "motion", was hit, took one step, and layed the ball up. Tweet! "On the floor!"
Says my partner. So during a break, I mentioned the play to him (big mistake, this guy was not up for suggestions)
during a timeout.
I said that I thought the shot should have counted because the shooter should have been allowed to continue his shooting motion.

The guy says, "well, he was fouled as he was bringing the ball up."

Aaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!!! He even doomed himself by his own explanation!

Anyway, that's my pet peeve.
