When I was playing youth/high school sports, my coaches typically referred to the team as "guys". When I became a coach, I started using the term "ladies". Not sure if that is appropriate anymore, but I never received any complaints. One year I coached a co-ed basketball team and simply referred to the group as "team". I never use the term "honey" with anyone. That includes my wife and daughter. However, there is a female associate in our building that refers to everyone as "honey". It doesn't matter if they are male or female, it is her standard greeting for everyone. While I do not think it is appropriate for her to call me "honey", I can't say it is something that offends me. I have learned to ignore it.
