Could this debate taking place really mean that neither are very good passers?

We've been passing OK up to this point, so, no.

Teams have really been targeting Bates. I agree Sheff may be taking her out of the firing line for a bit. It's a lot to expect from a freshman to adjust to hitting against big blocks and be such a target on serve receive. She doesn't need that burden. Deme has been the more consistent passer from what I've seen, but it may not last and I don't have passing stats at my disposal. We'll see.

When Kriskova returns from a KNEE injury she will not be thrown into the backline. Last thing Sheff needs is for her to tear something else while trying to dig a Penn State bullet. Unless she has a wicked serve I see Deme playing backrow for her and Bates backrow for Ellen.

Given how Kriskova's leg was bandaged up and how slowly she was moving yesterday, I don't think we will be seeing her for a while.

If UW has a major issue - it is passing. Followed closely by blocking. Morales helps in one area, not sure about the other...

Blocking is a bigger issue than passing right now. The blocking might get better. Not so confident about the passing improving. It's not awful, but it's not 2013 either.
So Kriskova played one point, game #11, I think she just blew the chance to red shirt. If it had been game #10, she might have gotten it. I think it's less than 33% of the season.

It isn't <33% of the length of the season. It's <33% of the matches. Playing one point doesn't make her ineligible for a medical redshirt at this point in the season. She is, however, ineligible for a regular redshirt.

Right, that's what I meant, not weeks into the season (not to be revisionist like boof or anything). They have 30 matches on the schedule, so 1/3 is about the 10th match.

No, you're still referring to 33% of the way into the season. That's not it. She can't play more than 33% of the team's total matches. Since she's playing one point, she's well below the cut-off. The tenth match has nothing to do with anything.

She may have not wanted one. Extending your eligibility also means extending your time in school.

Right. Also, Workman's from Cali, and I don't think she's on schollie, so another year of out-of-state tuition is big bucks.

Relevant to this conversation is an article in today's State Journal. Badgers Volleyball: Smallish Deme Morales Plays Big Role dlvr.it/743sbfSummary: Deme's stats in practice or in the first sets of pre-conference weren't as good as Bates', so Bates got the nod as OH. Deme wants to make Bates better by competing with her. She also enjoys digging.

Where's Morales? According to BTN last night, DEME is playing for Michigan. Oops.
Great article. End of discussion!
