if something is rotating clockwise with respect to surroundings. let us say, and we were to then turn the object 180 degrees in a plane perpendicular to its rotation, the result is an object that is now rotating COUNTERCLOCKWISE with respect to its surroundings. In summary, an impact with a another rotating object and transfer of momentum is not the only way. the object could have undergone a pole flip.
