I think you got Baseball and Basketball mixed up. Only baseball has umpires. In baskeball its a referee. Why there is a referee? Basketball needs a ref because he keeps the rules and watches out for fouls made from a player or team.
yes....... well sort of. its called an referee.
The umpire can be anybody picked out specially to be that position there doesn't have to be a definite person who plays this part every time in a game.
the umpire runs across the court and looks at the players to check were the ball is and then puts it on a tally then he goes to the referee and sings cher songs
You must wear black and carry a whistle and a watch. Put your arms out and call 'play on advantage' if the attacking team remains in possession. Point to the penalty spot if an offence has been committed in the area.
The umpire said that he was out.Someone threw a beer can at the umpire.
you have to be 13 and go to an umpire camp.
The duties of an empire in baseball are similar to a referee in another sport. They call things out during the game such as foul ball, strike, or out.
The umpire says that you are out.
I have volunteered to umpire tomorrow's Little League game.

An umpire is in charge of the game.
