The evolution of spin in a star undergoing adiabatic mass loss is considered. It is established that adiabatic mass loss cannot drive spin. If such a mass loss is due to a binary component overflowing its Roche lobe then this result rules out the possibility of asynchronous rotation in close contact systems. If the mass loss is driven by some other mechanism then a ‘spin up’ of the star is also not possible.
