What I mean is this: if a pass between teammates OOB is allowed, and the definition of a pass does not include handing it off, then a handoff between teammates would not be legal.
My only problem with this logic is that we would certainly permit a handoff inbounds between teammates, therefore it seems we should permit it while out-of-bounds.
Perhaps I'm trying to be too literal with the definition of a pass. And I always get inquisitive when definitions seem fuzzy.

The only restriction on hand offs is that you can not hand off a throw-in. Besides that, if two teammates want to roll, throw, hand the ball off to each other out of bounds, more power to them. Just get it all done with within five seconds.
