WACO -- Jim Grobe probably didn't cancel travel plans and come out of retirement to deal with more off-field headaches at Baylor.
But the week before the No. 23 Bears face Northwestern State, Baylor's interim coach stepped in front of reporters to deal with another issue involving a football player.
For roughly the first 88 seconds of Tuesday's news conference, he voluntarily briefed the media on the status of sophomore wide receiver Ishmael Zamora.
