6 fouls. If you get 6, your out.

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)
5 in High School & College and 6 in the NBA.

In the NBA, you are allowed 6 fouls. After you get the sixth foul, you are out for the rest of the game.

No, in the NBA a player has to reach 6 fouls before he's "fouled out".
In the NBA, one has to commit 6 fouls to be disqualified from the game, so they so-called 'foul out'. In college or high school basketball one can foul out with only 5 fouls though.
