On their seventh conference call of the women's season on 4/10/17 the NEG focused primarily on officiating the perimeter, which has become the newest area of interest for coaches who are concerned bout inconsistency and physicality. Also addressed was the "Next Generation" initiative, preparation for the upcoming conference championships and the NCAA Championship. Conference call was recorded for those who missed it.
