Kevin,
He has a reverse pitch prop so needs to run the motor backwards to produce thrust in the originally intended direction. The motors are designed to take reverse thrust for some time but I agree it's better to use it as a pusher, as the designers intended.

If the thrust bearing fails to support in reverse, the long term failure
will be high. I would have to see the engineering drawing for the motor
in question before I would be quick to answer yes. Reversing the leads
will make the motor run in reverse but there is more to the question.
