EF Historians "What Happened to or Where is or Who is Coach Brian D. Hanline?

[GrandMasterKC]

I purchased a football board 3 years ago and in it was a typed manual titled-"HOW TO PLAY ELECTRIC FOOTBALL" COACHES MANUAL BY BRIAN D. HANLINE OF KAYSVILLE, UTAH. In this manual there are many plays for 8 man play and it is very informative for it's time 1976 Tudor Games Inc.
What is the origen of "8 Man play?" Is it still used?

Somebody enlighten me on who this Coach is and was? Also how great of an impact did this manual have on EF today and the years after 1976 when written?

When did the term "tweaking" come about? How did the realization of manipulating the plastic come about and change the game forever?
