During a tight second-round game between Illinois and Houston on Sunday, a ref called a technical foul on RJ Melendez for hanging on the rim during a dunk even though it was clear Melendez swung forward to not fall and hurt himself.

It was clear that Melendez swung forward during the dunk to not fall and hurt himself.
