“Earlier this week, Salisbury head coach Jim Berkman announced his retirement after 38 seasons and 13 national championships. It was a decision that was both easy and hard to make.

“It’s hard letting go of something you’ve created that’s so special,” said Berkman, the NCAA’s all-time leader in lacrosse coaching victories with 678.

A model of consistency, his Sea Gulls played in the NCAA tournament in each of his 38 seasons and advanced to the championship game 20 times.”

» Driving The News. “The easy part for Berkman, 66, was the chance to become a more active grandfather to young ones that live in Georgia and Illinois. Being able to make longer visits to the grandkids alongside his wife, Jen, who is also retired, was a huge draw.”

» State of Play. “Berkman shared the news directly with his players as well as incoming freshmen and transfers Tuesday morning. He also answered over 300 texts during the day and about 100 more the following morning. “It’s been important to me to do this the right way,” he said. “Tell people the right way and tell them at the right time. I made a lot of calls on Tuesday and had some really emotional calls. It was a long day.”

» Quotable. “I’ve always thought of myself as a pretty good teacher and someone who could manipulate practice to accomplish the objectives that needed to be done,” he said. “I really enjoyed that part of the equation. I will probably miss practices more than anything.”

“One method appeared again and again in the comments: buttered bread.

The technique involves spreading softened butter onto a slice of bread—many readers specifically recommended the heel of the loaf—then using the bread to coat the corn. Some wrap the bread around the cob. Others roll the corn across it.

The method even has the endorsement of one of our favorite celebrities. In his memoir Taste: My Life Through Food, Stanley Tucci describes a family tradition of buttering homemade bread and using it to coat salted ears of corn. The bread, he writes, became its own reward afterward, soaked with melted butter and sweet juice from the kernels.

Once you think about it, the appeal is obvious. Bread is flexible enough to mold itself around the cob in a way a butter knife never will, helping distribute butter more evenly across the corn.”
