A '''coach''' (or team '''advisor''') is an adult who accompanies a quizbowl team to tournaments and plays a supervisory role in the management of the team's affairs. A supermajority of high school quizbowl teams have a coach, either by choice or because a state organization such as [[MSHSAA]] requires each team to have a coach as a requirement for competition. By contrast, almost no college teams have adult coaches or advisors, being run instead by the team [[captain]] or an undergraduate club president who handles logistical affairs. Most coaches are teachers or academic advisors at the school for which they coach the quizbowl team. A good coach can be the vital ingredient that turns a great quizbowl program into a consistently excellent one; in contrast, bad coaches can often hinder their team's full potential at [[good quizbowl]].

In most high school quizbowl tournaments, coaches have the power to lodge protests, call timeouts, ask for score checks, and make player substitutions at appropriate breaks in gameplay if they are the designated coach in a game room where their school's team is playing.

The methods and responsibilities of coaches at different schools vary widely, depending on many factors such as level of student leadership and time-intensiveness. However, many coaches take on at least some of the responsibilities form this list:
*Run [[practice]] / read questions to the team at [[practice]]
*Decide on team rosters for the A-team, B-team, etc. and the [[captain]]s of each team
*Organize transportation for participation in tournaments
*Handle team funding and tournament registration

In addition, many successful coaches also take on these responsibilities to help their teams succeed:
*Keep score as the team plays
*Take notes on which questions their players got and didn't get, so as to keep track for future improvement
*Help recruit new players each year
*Diffuse conflict and spur motivation
*Help players set their own improvement goals and find quizbowl study methods that work for them

Some of the most successful coaches in [[good quizbowl]], as measured by number of national title victories won by the school, include:
*[[Julie Gittings]] (6 [[NSC]]s, 2 [[HSNCT]]s, 1 [[NASAT]])
*[[John Barnes]] (2 [[HSNCT]]s, 2 [[NSC]]s)
*[[Bill Tressler]] (1 [[HSNCT]], 1 [[NSC]])
*[[Howard Weinberg]], [[Detroit Catholic Central]] (2 [[HSNCT]]s)
