played much (but did play in the exhibitions and blue/white game) then to me what we can see for her indicates she is not playing due to coach's decision.

For Kotter could be the same thing, or could be an injury. Someone mentioned on the board about how for St. Louis game (game 2) we were down two starters from Wisconsin game (Bailey and Kotter) and I thought they said Kotter was out that game for a sickness. So for Kotter since she started the first real game I think its more plausible that she has had some lingering illness or injury.
