The man is sitting on a stool on a platform that moves without much significant friction and is holding the wheel

Suppose that, as viewed from top, the bicycle wheel is spinning clockwise. Suddenly, the man flips the bicycle wheel over and continues to hold it, so that now the bicycle wheel is spinning counter-clockwise (also as viewed from top). In which direction is the man and the stool spinning? Give your answer (as viewed from top: clockwise, counter-clockwise, or not spinning) and explain your reason.
