handoff
Quarterback's pocket exchange
A handoff is the transfer of responsibility or control from one person or system to another.
In football, a handoff is when the quarterback places the ball directly into a running back's hands.
The term extends to any transition of duties: The handoff between shifts went smoothly.
In telecommunications, a handoff occurs when a mobile call transfers between cell towers.
