Melbourne Boomers coach Guy Molloy will meet with Liz Cambage to address her disciplinary issues after the star centre was ejected in Sunday's WNBL loss to Sydney Uni.
Returning from a one-match suspension for unduly rough play, the 2011 league MVP was forced out of the game after picking up her second technical foul in the closing stages of Melbourne's 101-89 home loss to the Flames.
It was Cambage's second ejection of the season, having also received two technical fouls in the Boomers' opening-round win against Dandenong.
Molloy would not be drawn on the refereeing decisions that resulted in Cambage's ejection.
"It's a really complicated question and, to be honest, I'd rather not say anything in this forum because the threat of a $5000 fine is there," Molloy told reporters after the match.
"But on the other side of things, it just feels like we lost our way a little bit over the last week or so."
With the game tied early in the fourth quarter, Sydney Uni's Alex Wilson nailed three triples in a crucial 11-0 scoring run and Cambage remonstrated with the officials after a no-call on a missed shot, resulting in her ejection from the match.
Wilson (24 points) combined with Asia Taylor (29 points) and Belinda Snell (28 points) to drill 16 three-pointers with the Flames shooting at 60 per cent from long range.
Riding a four-match winning streak prior to Cambage's suspension, the Boomers have now lost two straight games to fall outside the top four with five rounds remaining.
Molloy is now focused on getting his side back on track leading into next Saturday's home game against the bottom-placed Canberra Capitals.
"I just don't want everyone to get too down," he said.
"We have got a lot to play for so I'll have to address those things with Liz personally and with the team during the week.
"There's no panic but we've got to do some things better and we have to get back some mindset that bad calls and bad circumstances aren't going to affect us too much - I think we probably lost our way a little bit with that."
Cambage scored 22 points with seven assists prior to her ejection but was held to just two rebounds with Sydney Uni coach Cheryl Chambers adopting a team-based approach to win the battle under the boards.
"She's just a fantastic player and she does take so much of our effort," Chambers said about limiting Cambage's influence.
"It doesn't just take the person on her, it takes a whole lot of people working off the ball and I think tonight we were a little bit more cohesive."
