I've not seen how the gear retract on a Bonanza but I'm betting the pilot grabbed the wrong lever after landing. His claim? The gear collapsed on landing. Uh huh...
The article claims the pilot was doing "touch and goes" but Austin does not allow T-n-G's at all. They won't allow practice approaches, either. There's San Marcos and two other airports nearby for a variety of approaches. So, who knows what was really up here? It's not on the up and up.
I was in the glass sim with a student the whole morning so I never had a clue it went on. By the time I did go up later in the day, it was if it had never happen.

In looking at the FAA site, there are three other gear-up landings around the country and a fourth that claims the gear collapsed.
