Welcome to the fraternity. As Redhouse said, most rec league games are not as "serious" to officials as, say, a high school game would be. That does not excuse things like not hustling or being late -- I urge and hope that all of us who do this are "professional" all the time -- but it does mean that things will be a little different.
My guess is that you could have approached him about following proper mechanics (e.g., switching on fouls), but the fact that you didn't probably means that he was not presenting himself to you as "approachable." That's on him, not on you.
Work hard, keep trying to get better. Not every official has the same goals/desires as you; don't let that eat at you, just do the best you can.
Again, welcome!
