I don't think he has crossed half court yet this year as a trail official. As a player I am fine with an official's judgement as long as he gets into proper position.

I'm surprised that the other officials who responded to this thread let you off so easy. The first lesson that you need to learn is to respect other officials. This guy may not be the greatest thing to ever put on stripes but he is there, otherwise, you wouldn't be playing.
You're also making assumptions about the official. You have no way of knowing if he's "only out there for the paycheck." That's a stupid remark that fans, coaches, and players make when they don't like someone's officiating. You need to make up your mind if you're going to be a professional, whether you're officiating, watching or playing or if you're just going to act like everyone else.
Finally, you might consider that this official "sucks," yet he knew the rule and YOU did not. If he "sucks," where does that put you?
