I would suspect the FO was trying to demostrate his expertise...NOT. I also would be concerned if he hit max, and what was he doing messing with the brake switch when he should be flying. He should have disconnected the auto brakes using the pedal brakes, and brought the aircraft to a stop. I've had a max brake landing, and its not pretty.
