IMO, continue to use appropriate words in your post.

But not all money is good money, and not all word definitions are proper ones.

Although myself and others knew the meaning of your post, your reference of the word guy's (guy; noun a: MAN, FELLOW b: PERSON) was posted with reference to the group being all male.

The dialect use of "you guy’s" a plural pronoun, is generally regarded as colloquial and non-standard usage when referring to a group of males and females.

However, you should use proper professional diction when referring to a group consisting of both sexes (people) or by addressing such a group of skilled basketball officials using; ladies/gentlemen, guys/gals, men/women, males/females.

It goes beyond using good grammar, proper spelling and appropriate diction in all your communications; you should also write to the point of being professional.

You posted as if there wasn’t a single female official in your thoughts as we all know it is a male dominant field.
