Well, you need to factor in the fact that he probably drops to his knees for 80+% of shots. (anything in the bottom half the net)
I was always taught to hold my glove low, and am now in the process of breaking the habit and using the "new" high position. It still feels awkward, but is a much more efficient position if you are butterflying a lot. Though, you do have to switch to a lower hand position when you are going for more of a block.
