I am pretty bad coach with press. Do you guys have 5 PF-C to make sure you keep energy to push and press all game? I carry 4 on my zone teams, and in man to man, I go four too.

What do you think?

You can do it with 4 if you go slow down and are okay with a either playing a little fatigued or having a SF type play a few minutes in the post.....if you're guys ALL have STA over 80 you can probably do it without those issues.

Yes you can do it with 4 at uptempo if they have 80+ ST. Like scaturo said with sf, I like to have a sf with good reb play at the 4 too.

My press teams all have just 4...I rotate them all through at the C position and then the 3 non-starters plus my top rebounding SF-type player (or, barring that, a high-ATH, high-DEF type) gets the 4 slot as PF to take a few minutes as needed. It gets some fatigue issues in uptempo vs. uptempo games, and if there's an injury to one of the four or a bad foul run early in the game, it can go loco pretty quick. But other than that, as long as 2 of the 4 have stamina in the low/mid 80s, you'll be in fine shape.
