I like Billy, but sometimes he talks a little too much. My favorite
is Danny Diliberto and when he was alive Grady Matthews
Grady and Billy together were a great pool commentary team.
Greater than the sum of its parts and all that.

I was impress too. Bill was able to predict almost all Efren position play or shot both offensive and defensive.

He should be coaching USA Mosconi Cup players. If I am looking for a coach, he will be the one.
I watched a vid with Corey and Billy (I think) and a third guy commenting. Wish I had saved the link. Anyone know the one I am thinking of?
Corey was coming up with off the wall scenarios and Billy and the other guy were razzing him pretty badly.
Yes.... But I felt it was more about the entertainment of hearing them bicker, than the actual pool content. I felt that Grady always wore the bigger pants as far as the actual knowledge of the game, though. I am of the opinion that choosing to go with Billy over Grady when the two just couldn't get along was a disservice to the Accu-Stats fans... And Grady prolly needed the money more. Much more.
That being said... For my money, Jeremy Jones is the new gold standard for One Pocket commentary. He catches the nuances of what playing to a certain portion of the table gives up to the incoming player, and what move is gonna get played back likely, before THIS inning is played.. 2nd level thinking, a la Efren. I've gotten so much more out of listening to his commentary than any current commentator, bar none.

Years ago Billy was a 9 ball player first.
In the last 20 years ,he began to take one pocket more seriously and became
a real master. billy has age ,stamina, a back and other related problems
that affect his playing.
I always thought Billy was a top level gambler,smart,informed and bold.
I played him 2 or 3 times and it could have been more often had i not had
so much respect for his talents,( in other words I was scared)
I always felt if Billy liked the game,so did i.
I guess his commenting days are behind him,but he has saved for
the rainy day and I expect we will have new stories from and
concerning Billy to entertain us.
I am surprised to hear Buddy's remarks,I didn't know Billy was that good.
I had Buddy and Nick at the top in my estimation.
