HERRIMAN, Utah — Harkirath Sing Makhar and his brother, Harkaran, were getting ready to play a game of basketball when the referee approached them."The official came up and said we cannot play with our headgear," Harkirath said in an interview with FOX 13 News. "He said he's never seen anything like it and we can't play because he thought it was a towel."As members of the Sikh religion, they were wearing turbans. Harkirath said their faith calls on them to not cut their hair and the turban protects it.
