I have said "ladies" or "gentlemen" for some time now. Not sure what else to say unless I am refering to a specific number. I have my own personal problems with the words "ladies" and "gentlemen," partly because they have a social significance that has a certain meaning. But I only do that when I am at the FT line and I say, "two shots gentlemen." I do not use that wording any other time. If I had a better word to use, I would. But I think these are the main things that people understand as being polite and being professional.

I would never call the players a "boy," for the obvious reasons. I think it is our job to always show some respect to the players until they do something that suggests that we have to be more stern.

Peace
