With a moderate headwind, I see no reason that he couldn't stop a C150 in 200 feet or so, though it doesn't sound like a particularly wise landing over all. The nose-high approach is tricky in a small plane -- you don't want even a small gust of wind -- but it has the advantage that the wheels drop the second you cut the throttle.
When I was instructing in a Cessna 150 at Anoka CO noth of the Twin Cities, I used this technique to turn off at the first departure taxiway after landing on the approach apron. They have since closed this part of the
South end of that runway.
