Even if the coach made a mistake, he has the opportunity to put the correct starter in the game without penalty.
Basically, the penalty for incorrect starters will only occur if the coach is notified of the incorrect starter prior to tip-off and decides to accept the penalty instead of putting the correct starter on the court.
