My relatively uninformed take is that either:

a. the pilot was quite good and quickly assumed (mistakenly) that he had a tail stall and acted accordingly.

or

b. the pilot was marginally capable, stall warning goes off and he panics.

Given his past record, I'd lean towards b. The reality is that some people are in the wrong job.
