There are not umpires in Basketball but there are referees. The referees are in charge of making sure the game is played correctly such as calling fouls, when needed.
a player getting fowled, and the ref. not calling the fowl and the player in response swearing

In most leagues it is 5 fouls until you are out. However, in some tournaments they can make up whatever rules they want so any number of fouls. But basically it is 5 fouls. -Kristen (I have played basketball for 6 years)
