pass the ball
Share with teammate
To pass the ball is to throw, kick, or otherwise transfer the ball to a teammate in sports: She passed the ball to the point guard.
Figuratively, passing the ball means handing off responsibility or giving someone else a turn: I've done my part—time to pass the ball to marketing.
