It could be coaching or just business as usual.

If the developer is young/new and you are reviewing their code expecting various mistakes that you can then "coach" them about, it could be part of coaching. However at other times, code review is just what you do as a second pair of eyes, you are not expecting to give coaching as a result of something you might spot, just feedback.

I wouldn't worry too much about specifying things too specifically though!
