Which, of course, means he is now drained of all knowledge and credibility! 
At the time he talked with me about the mechanic, he was still on the NUS of the ASA, and he was most definitely suggesting that we try out the mechanic in fast pitch. He did clearly say, though, that it was experimental. He was looking for people to try it and give him feedback. At least that is the way I took it.
I understand he is now on the NUS of the AFA - but I don't know for sure.

Hmm, I happened to agree with Billy in the need to experiment.
I have a great amount of respect for him and would love to work with him again in the future.
Sorry if I sounded like I was diparaging him.
I made the comment about him being gone from the national staff just as a comment, not an indictment.
I too have heard that he is with the AFA but as the UIC.
Don't know if that is true or not but I am sure he would be doing a great job there if he is.
