CHRIS Scott has taken time out from his USA holiday to see what coaching skills he can garner from Philadelphia 76ers head coach Brett Brown and his deputies. 

Scott left for his holiday a few weeks ago after Geelong's best and fairest night on October 2. 

As AFL players enjoy the final few weeks of their mandatory eight-week break in countries such as Bali, Italy, Spain and India, Scott is further developing his skills in another professional sporting environment. 

Through links from the Cats, Scott organised to spend time with Brown and the NBA team's other coaches this week. 

He attended a practice session and the 76ers' recent pre-season match against the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, which they lost 88-99. 

Scott is scheduled to remain in the US for a few more weeks and see more of New York as part of his travels. 

He communicated with the Cats' recruiting staff via Skype last week as they were brokering trades, which included bringing St Kilda tall Rhys Stanley to the club. 

The Cats also traded Allen Christensen to the Brisbane Lions and Travis Varcoe to Collingwood during the NAB AFL Trade Period.
