    Keith came into the pool hall injured one week he had crushed his finger with a hammer or something. He was playing the tournament and playing pretty well… he made a good out and then yells out to the crowd “here I am injured playin in the tournament most guys would be at home crying for a glass of milk”.
    Idk if he used that line often but I always remembered it

    After winning a world tournament in Las Vegas, my very good friend Jimmy Fusco came back to Phila. and brought Billy Incardona with him, and they came to the pool room on Cottman ave for a $10 entry fee winner takes all. There were 100 entries so I went up to the sheet on the wall to see who I drew and it was Billy Incardona. It was a race to 9, I played him and beat him and who do you think had to play next: my very good friend Jimmy Fusco, he beat me 9-7 and said Ronnie I can't believe how great you are playing, he passed away and there will never be another like him-Ron Cerelli The Legend

I worked for Berle at Knoxville Billiard club and was hangin out in the pool room and took on anybody that would play him . We would play 6 ball on the snooker table with regular size balls. Played a lot of golf on the snooker table too. Anybody ever play golf on a snooker table ?

    When Bill says he knows Keith well, that's an understatement. Around 1990-91, they were both at a tournament in Memphis, Tn. McCready talked a local furniture store owner into backing him for $500/game against Bill playing banks. Keith hardly made 3 banks in any game and spent the entire time complaining about everything from the table to the lighting and the music being too loud. Bill wound up winning 4 games straight and the secret later came out that Keith agreed to dump and they'd split the money. It was something to watch.

    The amount of touch and feel Keith has can confuse people as to his ability or technique. When you know the right shot to play. And the right spin to use. And have a good feel for the table...it doesn't require using what is considered "normal" technique.
    Lay the cue tip right where it needs to be. Hit it. That's about it.
    Drago has a similar idea.

      Bad technique leads to inconsistency, which is what stops players like McCready from being a top pro. Yeah there are some outliers, but repeating technique in any sport is what gives you the highest chance to excel.
